11:28 am / Lion in Wait (ongoing) EXCELSIOR HOTEL -- While the winners at this year's Mostra won't be known (officially) until 7 this evening, eight of Italy's most influential film critics have alreay begun to pontificate. Among the films to be crowned, they predict, will be Abel Ferrara's "The Funeral," Jean-Luc Godard's "Forever Mozart," Neil Jordan's "Michael Collins," and Ken Loach's "Carla's Song." Barry Levinson's "Sleepers" (out of competition) divided those polled, with two critics judging it the worst film of the festival. -- G.L. & R.K Gloria Monti ---- To signoff SCREEN-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF SCREEN-L in the message.
