Teenagers with superpowers, transphobia, horror as a metaphor to attract the attention of the viewer and then History with a capital C. Apart from our six champions, the world is in competition and the situation is difficult. Meanwhile, at the exhibition, awarded with courage, as for many years, the usual triumph of genre cinema reigns. water shape (2017) Guillermo del Toro and the Joker (2019) Todd Phillips. David Fincher, who traveled to Venice for a roaring midnight screening of Fight Club in 1999 (he’s sure to be in Contest today), will present a thriller based on the graphic novel The Killer, while veteran Luc Besson, who has been hated in the past in film circles, the author arrives with action movie Dogman, which should confirm the talent of Caleb Landry Jones (already winner of the Best Actor award at Cannes 2021 and excellent in small roles in Oscar films Get Out and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing , Missouri).
Venice Film Festival 2023, Enrico Vanzina: “The unique setting and the magic of the most beautiful cinema”
Themes
Horror reigns both intellectually in Bertrand Bonello’s The Beast (also oft-mentioned artificial intelligence involved in the plot) and as a political metaphor thanks to Pablo Larraín’s El Conde, where we are to meet Augusto Pinochet, even the vampire after was bloodthirsty dictator in Chile from 1973 to 1990. And if Dracula is there, Frankenstein certainly can’t be absent, as Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Man” is raising a female being who will rise up against her demiurge. At a still propitious moment for the MeToo movement, a film with Emma Stone could have been very well received by the jury presided over by Damien Chazelle, and we must not forget that Lanthimos and Stone gave us the excellent film The Favorite (2018) many years ago about the dangers of the degradation of the political elite .
And about superpowers in the hands of young people, The cliché is always at the center of Marvel and DC Comics films, look out for 2016 Horizons Award-winning filmmaker Holly Fien Troch because on paper, his film seems quirky and promising. I bet that the provocation will be presented this year as well by Michel Franco from the very mysterious film “Memories” with Jessica Chastain, directed by the Mexican director who received the Grand Jury Prize in Laguna in 2020.
Biographers
Those looking for classic biographies should find them at Michael Mann’s Ferrari. (10 years to make Heat and Bail), which will see Adam Driver once again become a celebrated Italian character after Maurizio Gucci in Ridley Scott’s failed House of Gucci (2021). Let’s hope things do better with Enzo Ferrari struggling with a team in decline, a historic accident at the Mille Miglia on May 12, 1957, and a tumultuous relationship with his wife, Laura, played by Penélope Cruz. He seems to be one of the favorites for some major awards, as well as Bradley Cooper’s Maestro, another costumed biopic about the 20th century myth, where the Hollywood star turned good director in 2018’s A Star Is Born, will play the greatest conductor of all time.
As with Mann’s Ferrari, the re-enactment of Bernstein’s life will have plenty of room for public speaking and private drama. The latest celebrity to appear before our eyes will be Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla: Elvis Presley’s wife, presented as a beautiful figurine in Luhrmann’s Elvis (2022). Let’s hope that Coppola, who won the infamous Golden Lion for Somewhere (2010) when ex-boyfriend Quentin Tarantino was chairman of the jury, finds a convincing option that will bring her character out of the shadow of her ex-husband. An interesting line from a geographical point of view will be the presence of Poland as a harsh, if not ruthless, European nation. In Agnieszka Holland’s Green Border, refugees from Belarus will find mistrust and racism welcoming them just beyond the Polish border, and in Małgorzata Szumowska and Michal Englert’s Woman, we find that in terms of transphobia, in some parts of Warsaw they are not joking. given that the life of a transgender is not possible due to various bureaucratic problems.

Prize zone
Vera is a trans-hero (Małgorzata Hajewska-Krzysztofik) and attention to the prize zone. Nicholas Arcel’s “Danish bastard” could also inflame the jury with the vicissitudes of a soldier in Denmark in 1755, when he wanted to farm a piece of land given to him by the king, which was also chosen for the Toronto Film Festival and Mads Mikkelsen. as the protagonist is a guarantee of quality. We know from Stéphane Brizet’s Appetizers and Timm Kröger’s Von Allem Theory that in the French film, our co-star Alba Rohrwacher and Guillaume Canet play in a drama where the couple reunite after 15 years apart. Timm Kroeger’s film seems like a gothic nightmare with tones of metaphysical melodrama in the world of scientists in 1962. Aria Oppenheimer? Speaking of Nolan’s film, which is doing very well in our theaters, Ava DuVernay’s Origin seems to mention it because, like Nolan’s biopic, it is based on a famous non-fiction essay on racism in the US called Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents (2020, unpublished in Italy). And in this latest work, black culture is also represented in a very diverse and, hopefully, stimulating competition. Read full article
