                    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
