The Venice film festival kicks off today with the arrival of movie stars on water taxis for a dark line-up flush with fiendish tales of abuse, betrayal and survival. The world’s oldest film festival opens with “Gravity”, a 3-D sci-fi thriller starring George Clooney and Sandra Bullock as astronauts who are flung into deep space when a debris shower destroys their shuttle.
