Venice celebrates Lollobrigida but runs the risk of not having a Usa-Corriere.it star

Told by Orson Welles in Portrait of Ginadirected by Mario Soldati ne The provincial. Gina Lollobrigida, who passed away last January, the protagonist of the pre-opening of Venice 80 on August 29th. Two titles, part of the Venice Classics program of the festival directed by Alberto Barbera, presented in a world preview in a restored version. The first, a close-up portrait of the director of Fourth power, the pilot episode of a series, never completed for ABC. The second, the film that Soldati made together with Giorgio Bassani, based on the novel by Alberto Moravia. Next Tuesday Alberto Barbera and the president of the Biennale Roberto Cicutto will unveil the program of the 2023 edition of the Venice Film Festival (from 30 August to 9 September), where you can bet on a competition with six Italian titles.That is to say: I, captain by Matteo Garrone (already in theaters with 01 on 7 September); Lubo by Giorgio Rights with Franz Rogowski and Valentina Bell, Finally dawn by Saverio Costanzo with Lily James and Willem Defoe, set in the Cinecittà of the Fifties, with Alba Rohrwacher Alida Valli; Aeneas second work by Pietro Castellitto, also an interpreter alongside Benedetta Porcaroli; Commander by Edoardo De Angelis with Pierfrancesco Favino in the uniform of corvette captain Salvatore Todaro, as well as part of the cast – such as Toni Servillo and Valerio Mastandrea – by Slowly by Sergio Sollima.

In Venice 80, which opens with Challengers Of Luca Guadagninoare expected The Palace by Roman Polanski, Ferrari by Michael Mann, Master by Bradley Cooper, Priscilla by Sofia Coppola, Poor creatures! by Yorgos Lanthimos, Saltburn by Emerald Fennell… But since when did I leave strike of American actors, the unknown is no longer about the titles arriving at the Lido, but about the stars who will accompany them. Will there be Zendaya, Michelle Yeoh, Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, Carey Mulligan, Jodie Foster, Adam Driver, Jessica Chastain, Cooper? The dispute between the actors of Sag-Aftra and the producers of Amptp seems far from a positive settlement, in the absence of an agreement, the risk that only real Italian, European and Asian stars will appear on the red carpet. The defections of associates are already arriving at summer festivals around the world, such as Asa Butterfield Matt Smith who have given up on Giffoni. No problem, however, for the Venetian juries, made up overwhelmingly of directors of different nationalities, starting with that of the competition chaired by the American Damien Chazelle with Jane Campion.
