Clooney-Pitt comedy raises the curtain at Venice film festival
The festival, running through until September 6, is set to bring a bevy of stars to one of the world’s top cinema showcases, including Charlize Theron and Kim Basinger, as well as new offerings by top filmmakers such as Takeshi Kitano and Jonathan Demme.
Kicking off the celebrations but shown out of competition, the Pitt-Clooney crime comedy Burn After Reading, by 2008 Oscar-winning duo Joel and Ethan Coen, also stars John Malkovitch and Tilda Swinton.
