    Pedro’s room

    The term “masterpiece” is often overused, but I can’t really think of any other definitions for this film. Almodóvar tackles the complex theme of euthanasia with a delicacy I did not think possible, with precise writing and dialogues that make use of the crystalline talent of two amazing actresses such as Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore...

      When clowns cry

      Among the documentaries, one in particular stands out: From Darkness to Light by Michael Lurie and Eric Friedler. This documentary, which explores Jerry Lewis’ unfinished and unreleased film The Day the Clown Cried (1972), is one of the most anticipated and surprising entries in this section. The American comedian directed the film in Sweden, playing a clown imprisoned in Auschwitz, tasked by the Nazis with entertaining children destined for the gas chambers...

        THE question

        Amos Gitai presents Out of Competition Why War, focused on an exchange of letters which took place in the 30s between Einstein and Freud where they question each other why man in the course of his history has always chosen war as a solution to the contrasts and conflicts afflicting the world...

          To be here

          We didn’t have to insist on anyone; indeed, all the big names have immediately expressed their willingness to be here, despite being very busy with shooting movies and many other professional deadlines. Everyone made sure to be able to come at the Lido even if only for 24 or 36 hours. In the past there had always been some defections, as is normal...

            Goodbye, Mr Friedkin!

            I was on the set of The Caine Mutiny: Court-Martial in February. Friedkin was shooting in a wheelchair due to circulatory...

              Natural Balance

              No one knew that Hamaguchi was making a new film. He submitted it to the festival without informing us; we discovered it by chance...

                On Strike!

                There are many different reasons behind this strike. The first one is obviously a demand for higher pay– not for the great movie stars, but for all workers who keep cinema alive as an industry...

                  My First Time

                  There are truly many anecdotes and significant moments that fill my memory, first as a passionate attendee of the festival and then as its director. It’s so hard to pick just one! The one experience that changed me the most took place during my first year in Venice. Up to that point, I had been working on a smaller indie cinema festival...

                    Looking in, looking out

                    If we didn’t know who made Guadagnino’s Bones and All, we might as well ascribe it to an American director. Bones and All is about a piece of American history that is less known this side of the ocean...

                      Orizzonti extra Orizzonti

                      It’s great to see how much the two sections grew in such a short time. My intention was never for them to be a self-referencing, niche programme of movies – nothing of the sort.

                        Us and them

                        We have been trying to work so closely with such an institution as the Academy for a long time. Over the last ten years, a connection has been growing between the two, with many films beginning their journey at Venice to later being awarded an Oscar.
