The granddaddy of all Chicago's film fests, the Chicago International Film Festival (42nd edition), runs Oct. 5-19. Three of the fall's most eagerly awaited movies will get their local premieres at the festival -- including Alejandro Gonzales Inarritu's "Babel," the fest's centerpiece and another of the Mexican director's multipart films, this time starring Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett and Gael Garcia Bernal.
Later in the fest, Aronofsky's "The Fountain" tells a thousand-year love story with help from stars Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz. And the fest's opening night film, Marc ("Monster's Ball") Forster's Chicago-based "Stranger Than Fiction," is a comedy about the problems of a novelist (Emma Thompson) with one of her characters (Will Ferrell); it also stars, as an oddball English professor, Dustin Hoffman -- who will be honored at the festival with a Career Achievement Award.
