The iconic actor visited the festival on Saturday (30 AUG. 2014) with two new films, "Manglehorn," which is showing in competition and "The Humbling" which isn't.
"I didn't think I was going to have both movies and I had both movies in the same day. So go figure that," smiled the 74-year-old star.
"But this is a great festival I have to say, it's very artistic and of course I love Venice," he added.
Despite visiting the carpet twice in the space of 6 hours, Pacino looked enthusiastic throughout and took plenty of time at both events to meet with fans.
"Meeting fans? Oh yeah I love it." Said the star.
"It comes with the territory, it's fine. There's meeting fans in an atmosphere like this and then there is meeting fans at your house, that's different. But in the world it's kind of cool, in this environment, it's fun to know that people are out there and it's good."
Both his movies happen to be about aging, regret, giving up and letting go.
In "The Humbling," he plays waning actor Simon Axler who rattles around his half-empty mansion like a Connecticut King Lear, pinning his misguided hopes of love and redemption on a much younger lesbian, played by Greta Gerwig.....
