Madonna's film about King Edward VIII's relationship with an American divorcee and Roman Polanski's 'Carnage' are set to be among highlights at the 2011 Venice film festival.
Twenty-one films will vie for the top Golden Lion award at the 68th edition of the world's oldest film festival, which runs from Aug 31 to Sept 10 this year on the Lido seafront.
Madonna's directorial debut on a feature film, 'W.E', is a drama that compares a modern day relationship with the controversial love between the king and divorced American Wallis Simpson, and will screen out of competition.
