MONTREAL -- The 28th edition of the Montreal World Film Festival got under way Thursday night, with organizers touting the event's 245 feature films up for discovery over an apparent lack of star wattage. "There really aren't a lot of stars expected to come here," festival spokesman David Novek said Thursday afternoon ahead of the opening-night screening of Ghyslaine Cote's Elles Etaient Cinq (The Five of Us). Novek instead said Montreal is more targeted at the cinemagoing public than major studios. The slim group of mainstream stars on the agenda include Isabelle Adjani, who will be in Montreal today to receive a special festival tribute, and Penelope Cruz, who will be present Sept. 2-3 for the North American premiere of the Italian film Don't Move, in which she stars.

Spanish siren Penelope Cruz has controversially claimed her character in new film Don't Move is "a little pleased" at being raped. The girlfriend of Hollywood hunk Tom Cruise plays a destitute woman who becomes involved with a high powered doctor in the Italian movie, which is directed by Sergio Castellitto, who also plays the medical expert. And Cruz says of her character, "Her father has been raping her since she was 12-years-old, and that's why, when (the doctor) rapes her, she is even a little pleased because he is a surgeon. A man from a higher social class." The movie - Non Ti Muovere in Italian - has just begun shooting in Rome.
