Pacino does double duty at Venice Film Festival
Pacino plays a small-town locksmith with a key for everything except his own unhappiness.
VENICE (AP) - Al Pacino is making two trips up the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival, with two movies about aging, regret and letting go. But the actor says he s not about to lower the curtain on his own career.
Pacino plays a small-town locksmith with a key for everything except his own unhappiness in David Gordon Green s "Manglehorn," one of 20 films competing for the festival s top prize.
And he s an aging actor who has lost his mojo in Barry Levinson s "The Humbling."
In both, he s shambling, disheveled and drawn. In Venice on Saturday he was black-clad, sharply coiffed and every bit the movie star.
He said the demands of acting grew tougher with age, but he felt lucky to have "found something in life that I love to do."
