This week and next, Film Comment is reporting from the picturesque shores of the Lido, where the Venice Film Festival takes place each year. This year’s edition features new films by many major auteurs, including Werner Herzog, Lee Chang-dong, Tsai Ming-liang, and more.

For our second Podcast from the city of canals, critics Bilge Ebiri (New York / Vulture) and Guy Lodge (Variety) join Film Comment Co-Editor Devika Girish to discuss two standouts of the festival's Competition section: Danny Boyle's Ink (2:28) and Lee Chang-dong's Possible Love (12:05). Next, they discuss a highlight of the Horizons sidebar: Robert Greene's Too Much Sugar (27:30).
