A Venetian Odyssey for Turkish cinema
By Gautaman Bhaskaran
The 71st edition of the world’s oldest and highly celebrated Venice International Film Festival begins today on the Adriatic-swept and lagoon-washed island of Lido, with Alejandro Inarritu’s Birdman (also known as The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance). Starring Michael Keaton, Edward Nortan, Amy Ryan, Emma Stone and Naomi Watts, Birdman is a black comedy about a Broadway actor struggling to mount a play. And how he does this by subduing his own ego and getting his career and family back on track is what Inarritu’s work is going to tell us.
