VENICE: The world´s oldest film festival winds up Saturday with a lavish ceremony to award the coveted Golden Lion as well as a host of other accolades.
Here are short sy**pses of the works in competition at the 73rd edition of the Venice film festival:
Ana Lily Amirpour (US), "Bad Batch": In this cannibal love story with Jim Carrey and Keanu Reeves a young girl wanders a desert wasteland in a futuristic United States before getting sliced up limb by limb.
Stephane Brize (France), "A Woman´s Life": In this rich period drama set in 19th century France, a childlike baroness is tormented by a dishy local viscount.
Damien Chazelle (US), "La La Land": This humdinger, starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, about a struggling jazz pianist and his actress girlfriend pays tribute to the Golden Age of American musicals.
Derek Cianfrance (US), "The Light Between Oceans": Real-life couple Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander play a husband and wife on a remote island faced with a terrible choice when a baby washes up in a boat.
Massimo D´A**lfi and Martina Parenti (Italy), "Spira Mirabilis": This odd work examines man´s thirst for immortality, culminating with an interview with a Japanese jellyfish expert.
Lav Diaz (Philippines), "The Woman Who Left": A wrongly convicted schoolteacher plots revenge against the ex-boyfriend who framed her, disguising herself in a bid to get close to her quarry.
Gaston Duprat and Maria** Cohn (Argentina), "The Distinguished Citizen": A **bel Prize-winning author returns to his village for the first time in 40 years in this comedy about fame and art.
Amat Escalante (Mexico), "The Untamed": There´s something nasty in the woodshed -- or rather a cabin in the Guanajuato countryside, where an extraterrestrial, tentacled creature ***ually pleasures the brave and foolhardy.
Tom Ford (US), "**cturnal Animals": A gripping romantic thriller about former lovers (Amy Adams and Jake Gyllenhaal), with a bitter and violent revenge tale told as a story within the story.
Roan Johnson (Italy), "Piuma": Cate and Ferro are just 18 when she falls pregnant in this light-hearted teen comedy.
Andrei Konchalovsky (Russia), "Paradise": Olga is arrested by Nazi police for hiding Jewish children and shipped off to a concentration camp in this Holocaust drama, which explores the theme of love in hell.
Martin Koolhoven (The Netherlands), "Brimstone": A mute young woman is persecuted by a vengeful priest in the 19th century American West in this relentlessly gloomy work, dubbed a "Protestant Western" by the Hollywood Reporter.
Emir Kusturica (Serbia), "On the Milky Road": A milkman risks his life daily to cross the frontline on a donkey and bring his wares to the soldiers, until a mysterious Italian woman (Monica Bellucci) turns his life upside down.
Pablo Larrain (Chile), "Jackie": A week after John F. Kennedy´s 1963 murder, his new widow (Natalie Portman) gives an interview to Life magazine in this piercing bio-drama.
Terrence Malick (US), "Voyage of Time: Life´s Journey": The life and death of the universe is portrayed thanks to stunning special effects and real-life images taken from earth´s most sophisticated satellites.
Christopher Murray (Chile), "The Blind Christ": While Michael believes he is Christ, everyone else is sceptical. On hearing a childhood friend has been hurt in an accident, he sets out to perform a miracle.
Francois Ozon (France), "Frantz": Set in the aftermath of World War I, it tells the tale of Anna, who mourns daily at the grave of her fiance Frantz, until she spots a stranger with a secret.
Giuseppe Piccioni (Italy), "These Days": When four college friends set off on a road-trip, secrets abound, from an unplanned pregnancy to life-threatening illness.
Denis Villeneuve (Canada), "Arrival": A group of aliens makes contact with the world and it´s up to expert linguist Louise Banks (Amy Adams) to figure out what they want before the excitable world powers reach for the nuclear button.
Wim Wenders (Germany), "The Beautiful Days of Aranjuez": Shot in 3D and limited to an intimate conversation between a couple in a garden, this art-house offering indulges in philosophical musings on womanhood.
