The Venice Film Festival, the first major film festival of the season, takes off on Wednesday evening with the world premiere of the American film White Noise. Until September 10, several big names in Hollywood and international cinema will follow one another on the red carpet of the prestigious Italian festival. Here are five of the most anticipated films of this 2022 vintage.
White Noise
By launching the festivities with White Noisethe new black comedy from American director Noah Baumbach (A wedding story), the Venice Film Festival offers an opening night rich in glamour. Actors Adam Driver, Greta Gerwig and Don Cheadle are particularly expected on the red carpet.
Blonde
This is another film that should make waves around the Lido, the Venetian island that hosts the festival. Adapted from the novel of the same title by Joyce Carol Oates, this biographical drama by Andrew Dominik delves into the tumultuous private life of Hollywood legend Marilyn Monroe. It is the actress Ana de Armas who brings it back to life on the big screen.
don’t worry darling
The couple Olivia Wilde-Harry Styles will certainly delight photographers at the world premiere of the thriller don’t worry darlingWilde’s second feature as a director, in which Styles stars alongside actress Florence Pugh.
The Whale
It’s often during the Venice Film Festival that the first rumors about the Oscars surface. And if we trust the first echoes of the performance of Brendan Fraser in this new film by Darren Aronofsky (The black swan), it’s a safe bet that his name will end up at the top of the list of first contenders for the Oscar for best actor. Fraser is unrecognizable as a morbidly obese man.
Bones and All
What would the Mostra be without the presence of Timothée Chalamet? A year after presenting Dune alongside Denis Villeneuve, the Franco-American actor returns to Venice to launch this new film which marks his reunion with filmmaker Luca Guadagnino (call me by your name).
