Therefore, there is a high probability of seeing new films by Guadagnino, Garrone, Cooper, Coppola and Lanthimos at the Lido. And admire their stars, like on a red cloak Zendaya, Pedro Pascal, Michelle Yeoh, Emma Stone, Penelope Cruz, Mark Ruffalo, Lilly James, Carey Mulligan, Jodie Foster, Adam Driver AND Jessica Chastain they are really very high.

Why is it important to be at the Venice Film Festival?

The desire of these great artists to be in Venice is always great. Because it is a showcase that can lead to many awards. For example, a triumphant race Brendan Fraser Oscar began with the first Venetian WHALE. Is Spirits of the island From Martin McDonagh What Tar From Todd Field They owe much of their subsequent awards success—nine Oscar nominations for the former and six for the latter—to the celebratory reception at Mostra last year.

“I am the captain” by Matteo Garrone

Let’s start playing at home. We were waiting for him in Cannes. We could see him on the Lido. We are talking about the long-awaited I am the captain From Matthew Garrone. Return to the cinema of the director 4 years after Pinocchio. The dramatic story of two young migrants played by Seydou Sarr AND Mustafa Fall – who leave Dakar, Senegal, in search of a better life in Europe. A very relevant topic and, knowing Garrone’s cinema, from a non-obvious point of view. But it will certainly lead to more discussions. Here, too, there is already a release date: September 7, the festival is in full swing.

Dawn at last by Saverio Costanzo

Another movie that has been talked about for some time is Finally dawn From Xavier Costanzo. Who returns behind the scenes of a feature film nine years later Hungry hearts (with Adam Driver and Alba Rohrwacher). Which was presented at a competition in Venice. The action takes place in the Cinecittà Studios in the 1950s. The main character is an aspiring actress (Lily James) who travels to Rome for an audition and is forced to discover herself in a seemingly endless night. Also in the cast Willem Dafoe AND Joe Keery (what from very strange things). Alba Rohrwacher plays Alida Valli.

“Murder in Venice” by Kenneth Branagh

More than competitive, this can be a great way to open or close an 80 edition. Murder in Venice. Third time Kenneth Branagh fight with yellow Agatha Christie. The film, in which the director also plays Hercule Poirot, reassembles an exceptional cast. outside Jamie Dornan AND Jude Hill (who are later found by Branagh Belfast), Eat Tina Feynew Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh and Riccardo Scamarchio. original novel, Poirot and the Massacre of the Innocents, the action does not take place in Venice. It was Branagh’s choice… The film will be released worldwide on September 14th.

Ferrari by Michael Mann

To always stay in the Italian context, one of the most anticipated films of the year is ferrari. biopic that Michael Mann filmed in Emilia to tell about the life of Enzo Ferrari. Based on the biography of Brock Yates, the film stars Adam Driver as Drake, Penélope Cruz as his wife Laura and Shailene Woodley with Lina Lardy, a longtime partner of Ferrari. Also in the cast Patrick Dempsey AND Valentina Belle (good mothers). The Venice Film Festival can be an ideal platform for the presentation of the film.

“Priscilla” by Sofia Coppola

We still haven’t recovered from the hypercolor shine Baz Lurham that we are back in the world Elvis Presley. But at this time Sofia Coppola show us the other side of the moon. This is the woman who was next to the king of rock, his wife Priscilla. This is the name of the new film by the Italian-American director. The starting point is the autobiography of Priscilla herself, played by Caylee Spaeny, the emerging face of Stars and Stripes cinema. However, as Elvis, the teen idol, Jacob Elordi. There is no release date for the movie yet, but the trailer is already out. Venice would be the perfect showcase. Given that Coppola likes Lido: here in 2010 he won the Golden Lion for Somewhere.

Bradley Cooper “Master”

Let’s say this is our hope. Based on the fact that the path to fame of his debut film, A star is bornit was just in Venice 2018. We are talking about Bradley Cooper and his Owner. The second work, which was very much expected. The actor and director here plays the legendary conductor and composer. Leonard Bernstein. With him are Carey Mulligan as wife Felicia Montealegre, Maya Hawke as daughter Jamie and Matt Bomer into a lover. He releases Netflix, which has always been well received in Venice (unlike Cannes). Crossed fingers.

“Saltburn” door Emerald Fennell

To dwell on the topic of long-awaited second works, she is also ready Saltburn From Emerald Fennell. Debut with Promising woman it won her an Oscar. Participation in the Festival would be a great calling card for the 2024 awards season. Here is Camilla from Crown Directed by Jacob Elordi Barry Keoghan (The Spirits of the Island) in a black comedy set in the English aristocracy. Also in the cast Rosamund Pike, Richard E. Grant and Carey Mulligan.

“Poor creatures!” Yorgos Lanthimos

From Greece with fury. It’s time to say it. Because every time the name Yorgos Lanthimos, the cinematic adrenaline is over the top. The Greek director has a new film ready, Poor beings!. Looking at the trailer, it seems like it’s been caught in a centrifuge of sci-fi, romantic comedy, historical drama, and punk. Or maybe it’s Emma Stone’s eyebrows, which after Darling finds the director to destabilize us. The story of a woman who is brought back to life by a 19th-century scientist who runs away with a petty lawyer. In addition to Stone, the cast also includes Mark Ruffalo, Willem Dafoe, Rami Youssef, Jerrod Carmichael and Margaret Qualley. Considering he hasn’t traveled to Cannes, Venice seems like the obvious choice. In theaters October 12th.

Roman Polanski Palace

The films of the two controversial directors are expected to be released in 2023. First Roman Polanski with his Castle. A black comedy set on New Year’s Eve 1999 in a luxury Swiss hotel with directors Jerzy Skolimowski and Ewa Piaskowska.

Also given that the movie’s release date is September 28th.

Good Luck by Woody Allen

The second film of the scandalous director Accident (Coupe de chance) From Woody Allen. Who doesn’t really like Venice and this is his first film in French. Who has not been to Cannes.
