It’s a chilly, overcast day in Venice, and as I walk along the Lido down Lungomare Guglielmo Marconi, peering over the tall hedges that separate the street from the sea, the water looks gray and foreboding. What a pretentious-sounding sentence that is! But then, I’ve just come from seeing artiste Vincent Gallo’s Promises Written in Water, one of two pictures Gallo is presenting at the festival. The other is a short ( The Agent ), and Gallo also appears as an actor in another film in competition, Polish director Jerzy Skolimowski’s Essential Killing.
