The Venice film festival is back! This year’s edition—the 81st—promises drama on the Lido, with guests including everyone from Oprah Winfrey to Angelina Jolie. On our not-to-miss list: Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice, starring Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder; Luca Guadignino’s long-awaited Queer, in which Daniel Craig plays an American expat in 1940s Mexico City; and Pedro Almodóvar’s first feature-length film in English, The Room Next Door. Lights, camera, action! —Elena Clavarino
