Your daily movie bulletin bringing you the lowdown on 2 September
Buongiorno! Ciao bella! Today in film is bocco concerned with the Venice film festival, which had a splendido weekend and is gearing up for another lovely day on the Lido.
In case you weren't glued to your computer for the last couple of days, Signores Brooks and Pulver were working all ours to bring us news, reviews and even video from the piazzas. They sang their copy lustily down the phone, gesticulating wildly, where swooning women dutifully transcribed. This is what the results looked like:
• If you were rushed to hospital with serious head injuries, would you want Zac Efron to be the one performing the surgery? That's what happened to poor old JFK, according to Parkland, a new Rosencrantz and Guildernstern take on the deaths of the pres, and then, two days later, in the same hospital, Lee Harvey Oswald.

Remember that one year (2001) when the list-happy AFI (American Film Institute) decided to compete with the Globes and the Oscars in year end prizes? No, that didn't last long. But there's another AFI, The Australian Film Institute, that has been around for a long time and is in no such danger of being a one-off. This year, they're all about the amazing family crime drama Animal Kingdom which they awarded with a record breaking 18 nominations. Sure, the film is in danger of being way overhyped for people who are coming to it late (which is just about everyone given the sorry state of international distribution for dramas of virtually any kind) but for those who can slough off the "omg" raves, I guarantee you'll think it at least an insinuating and well executed crime drama.
