    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...

      Barbera Barbera

      They sometimes come back – and surprise us, again and again. Words of Beetlejuice, the spirit conjured by Tim Burton once, and again thirty-eight years later to open the 81st Venice Film Festival. Words of Venice Film Festival art director Alberto Barbera, too, with sixteen ‘appearances’ under his belt and the real spirit of the Festival, certainly the one who served longest...

        Parallel Lives

        A creator and a destructor – two lives, compared. In the main competition, we will today watch Ferrari by Michael Mann, starring an unrecognizable Adam Driver in the role of the car racing legend, and El Conde by Pablo Larraín, a grotesque horror variation on the difficult history of Chile, seeing Augusto Pinochet transforming into himself: a bloodthirsty vampire. But keep an eye on Dogman too, it marks Luc Besson's return to his typical adrenaline-fueled and hyperbolic style with the portrayal of a marginalized man in tight and vengeful communication with his loyal dogs.

          The Law of the Sea

          A past that speaks to the present and a present that fears the future. This is the story of Salvatore Todaro, the commander of the submarine “Cappellini”, who in 1940 sank an armed enemy merchant ship in the Atlantic. Todaro then rescued the shipwrecked crew and, in accordance with the laws of the sea and at great risk, brought them to a safe harbor. The opening film, Comandante by Edoardo De Angelis, starring Pierfrancesco Favino, now holds an ethical significance that needs no emphasis.

            Tunes and chords

            Cate Blanchett’s character, Lydia Tár, embodies the lives and stories of pioneer female conductors, such as Antonia Brico, Carmen Campori, and Sarah Caldwell, in a film, Tár, directed by Todd Field. This second day on Lido loves women: go see Kei Ishikawa’s Aru Otoko and Tizza Covi’s and Rainer Frimmel’s Vera.

              Starting from the future

              Contradictions and lacerations, oftentimes tragicomical, of modernity emerge since the very first day on the Venice Film Festival’s screens. But not before welcoming on the red carpet the queen of the Nouvelle Vague, the one and only Catherine Deneuve who will be awarded the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement. New Yorker Noah Baumbach meets novelist Don DeLillo for the first movie in the main competition, White Noise, a parable of survival between the absurd and...
