Bradley Cooper brings another great and harrowing love story to the Lido to the beat of the music. After A star is born along with Lady Gaga, who opened the 75th Venice International Film Festival on August 31, 2018, the American star will present, this time in competition, Owner. The feature film will have its world premiere on September 2. The film will subsequently have a limited theatrical release in US theaters from November 22, and then be available on the Netflix platform (also available on Sky Q, Sky Glass and Now) from December 20, 2023.
Owner, plot of the film
Owner tells the complex and harrowing love story of Leonard Bernstein and Felicia Montealegre Cohn Bernstein. A history that is over 30 years old. It all starts with their first meeting in 1946 during a social party, and then continues with two engagements, a 25-year marriage and three children: Jamie Bernstein, Alexander Bernstein and Nina Bernstein Simmons.
The feature film will cover thirty years of the life of the brilliant composer and conductor. It begins with his brilliant debut with the New York Philharmonic at the age of just 25, until the maestro composed the soundtrack for the film On the Waterfront directed by Elia Kazan and starring Marlon Brando. An extraordinary work for which he received an Oscar nomination.
Cooper himself contributed to the film’s script, assisted by Josh Singer (Case in the spotlight, Mail, First Man – First Man). However, in terms of production, we find prestigious figures of the caliber of Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, Christy Makosko Krieger, Fred Berner and Amy Durning.
