Australian director Nicholas Verso in Venice.

When he was at school in Melbourne, film director Nicholas Verso was almost expelled for being a goth. "I blackened everything," he says. "Lashes, eyebrows: it was a big commitment."

Fast-moving plot: Langdon (Tom Hanks) and Sienna (Felicity Jones) run for their lives through Boboli Gardens, Florence.
