Both “Disclaimer” star Cate Blanchett and “Maria” star Angelina Jolie made a significant impact on the second day of the 81st Venice Film Festival.

Every film festival boasts its unique character, its distinct standing in the awards circuit, and varying levels of success over the years. However, the Venice International Film Festival, the world’s oldest of its kind, is about to commence its 81st edition this Wednesday (August 28), establishing itself in a category of its own. This festival has become the premier showcase for the most anticipated studio releases and art films that define the autumn movie season.

This world premiere will reunite original stars Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder with Burton for the first time in 36 years.
