No Italian is in the running for
the Palme d'Or but three are in competition in the Quinzaine des
Realizateurs section, sources said Tuesday: Marco Bellocchio
with 'Fai bei sogni', chosen as opening film, Paolo Virzì with
'La pazza gioia' and Claudio Giovannesi with 'Fiore'. Virzì's
film stars Micaela Ramazzotti and Valeria Bruni Tedeschi,
Bellocchio is based on Massimo Gramellini's novel and the film
by Giovannesi (of 'Alì ha gli occhi azzurri' fame) is a love
story through prison bars.
