Woody Allen's Anything Else opened the 60th Venice International Film Festival Wednesday night, while Allen himself brought his audience to its feet with his opening remarks. "I'm usually not a festival person, but the Italians, like the French [Allen also made an appearance at Cannes last year with his film, Hollywood Ending], have been very supportive of my movies, so I wanted to give something back as a gesture of gratitude." He noted that "at root, these festivals are filled with cinema lovers, who come to enjoy the films, to discuss and to debate, and are thus the best places for showing my films." Besides, he said, "if you've seen my movies, you know I've stolen shamelessly from so many Italian directors like Fellini, De Sica, and Antonioni." Allen was accompanied by his producer sister, Letty Aronson, and by the film's stars, Christina Ricci and Jason Biggs.
