享譽世界的意大利威尼斯電影節(jié)開幕在即，只比威尼斯電影節(jié)晚一個多月的首屆羅馬國際電影節(jié)也正在緊鑼密鼓地籌備。后者的主辦方日前宣布，好萊塢影星妮可·基德曼主演的新片《皮毛》將為羅馬國際電影節(jié)揭幕。有關評論認為，基德曼在首屆羅馬國際電影節(jié)上亮相，將加劇意大利國內關于羅馬電影節(jié)與威尼斯電影節(jié)爭人氣的討論。威尼斯電影節(jié)創(chuàng)立于1932年，據(jù)傳目前在組織和財政上出現(xiàn)一些問題。業(yè)內人士認為，這兩個電影節(jié)將就明星和首映影片等展開競爭。 |

[AP] | Nicole Kidman will open
Rome's first international film festival with her portrayal of U.S.
photographer Diane Arbus, organizers said on Friday.
Kidman plays Arbus in Steven Shainberg's "Fur," which premieres in Rome on October 13.
"I love Italy and I feel great affinity with it," Kidman said in a
statement issued by organizers of the Rome festival. "I am especially
proud to be christening this
important event."
Kidman's presence in the capital will add to a debate in Italy over the
rivalry between the Rome event and Venice's venerable film festival,
established in 1932.
Just two years ago Kidman was the headline star at the Venice festival.
Film industry experts say the two festivals will compete over stars and
premieres, and Rome could cast a shadow over Venice's festival, which has
been dogged by organizational and financial problems.
After her suicide in 1971 Arbus became the first American photographer
to be exhibited by the Venice Biennale, the art foundation that oversees
the Venice festival, the world's oldest film competition.
Rome organizers said other premieres will include "The Namesake" by
Indian director Mira Nair and "N" -- a film about Napoleon by Italy's
Paolo Virzi. Additionally, Sean Connery will receive an award for lifetime
achievement.
