There’s no Planet B

In Competition, the life, the art, the loves of Maria Callas in Pablo Larraín’s biopic Maria, starring Angelina Jolie as the divine soprano portrayed in the last few years of her life. Counterpoint: the collective tragedy of Mexican children separated from their family on the American border by the Trump administration, documented in Separated by Errol Morris...

Danny Elfman’s music is a never-ending exploration of Gothic musical taste. Elfman is an unusual film score composer, which is usually made of precocious talents of solid education from the best academies. Seventy-one-year-old Danny Elfman, instead...

Convincing directors to accept a spot in the Orizzonti section, especially Orizzonti Extra, is not always easy. Among those who have not attended the Festival in recent years, there is still a strong perception that these sections are somehow "second class"...

Toni Servillo
When I read the script I found everything so far-fetched that, as an actor, a highway of verisimilitude opened up.

Toni Servillo

Pietro Castellito
It's a film about a man who managed to live the life he wanted to live, when the profession didn't yet exist, he had to create the world and then work on it.

Pietro Castellito

Giulia Steigerwalt

They represent hidden desire, and people accept that desire only if it remains secret and somewhat despised.

Giulia Steigerwalt

Lady Gaga

If you are imagining what this movie is like and then you go see it you realize you couldn't have possibly thought of it on your own.

Lady Gaga

Andrei Ujică
It's not a movie about the Beatles, it's the spirit of those years, the spirit of the beat generation, it's a film about us and the ways in which our emotional profile has been changed. It was a challenge to make a film about a band that changed the spirit of an entire group.

Andrei Ujică

Lady Gaga
We had to find every day what was the truth, what was the honest moment.

Lady Gaga

Luca Guadagnino
One of the hallmarks of great actors is the capacity of being very ‘mortal’ on screen. Very few iconic actors allow their fragility to be seen, and Daniel is undoubtedly one of them-

Luca Guadagnino

Julianne Moore
I think there’s an incredible life force in Pedro’s movies. When you watch them, it’s almost as if you can feel everyone’s heartbeat.

Julianne Moore

Brady Corbet
This movie does everything we're told not to do...

Brady Corbet

Amos Gitai
Let’s concentrate on what can be created to make a better future, we have done enough wars.

Amos Gitai

Ludivine Sagnier
I think one of the aims of every actor is to find humanity in his character, and humanity can only be contradiction.

Ludivine Sagnier

Jude Law
There was a lot of discussion about facial hair. I mean, every agent I interviewed to prepare for the role/character had a mustache, so it was given to grow a mustache…

Jude Law

Alessandro Borghi
Gianni never tells you ‘I found a solution’, but ‘What do you think if...?’. He makes you part of the process and for me that's a fundamental thing to do well in this job.

Alessandro Borghi

Alice Webb (Producer “One to one – John and Yoko”)
When you find something so timeless and extraordinary as the only full-length concert that John did outside of the Beatles, you can’t just put that out, there’s far too much to say about it.

Alice Webb (Producer “One to one – John and Yoko”)

Kurosawa Kiyoshi

Now the internet seems to me to have become something taken for granted, a medium that anyone can use. But now I started to imagine and ask myself: "What happens in people's hearts?"

Kurosawa Kiyoshi

Halina Reijn

The female orgasm, that’s serious, people! Take note, men…

Halina Reijn

Nicole Kidman
Halina [Reijn] is an actress, she would be able to play every role in the film and very very well, so that… is going to be the sequel!

Nicole Kidman

Cate Blanchett

We all have things we want to hide, not necessarily because we have done something wrong. We all are the heroes of our own narratives.

Cate Blanchett

Errol Morris
Truth still does count in our world. they can deny it, they can use a hundred euphemisms to describe it, but the reality of what they did can be shown, can be proven and should be dealt with. Truth matters!

Errol Morris

Angelina Jolie
I probably listen to The Clash more than most, but when your life is falling and you feel a certain level of despair, of pain, of love... Opera seems to be the only sound that can explain that pain.

Angelina Jolie

Valerio Mastandrea
I consider myself a "Although", as I consider the characters and people around me in life to be so, because they are the most flawed but most interesting people, with whom we then grow step by step.

Valerio Mastandrea

Tim Burton
I always wanted to make an Italian horror film... and I ticked that box! No I truly did, I've been a huge fan of like Mario Bava and Freda... Dario Argento, you know, all these people and so, for me, yeah, I can say i did it!

Tim Burton

Isabelle Huppert
Making a film represents courage, perseverance, determination. Film is a single word that refers to an entire world; so my hope is that this word can continue to exist as long as possible

Isabelle Huppert
