Greetings from Venice, and from the 68th Venice Film Festival! I arrived here too late to catch the press screening of the festival’s opening film, George Clooney’s The Ides of March , which I’ve been looking forward to for months. That will have to wait until Toronto, next week. But I did happen to catch two spectacular visions my first night here: First a red-carpet sighting of George Clooney, cheered on by a noisy gang of delighted Italian fans, and a lightning storm over the lagoon, sans rain, unlike any I’ve ever seen.
