It is its 79th edition and it turns 90, but, above all, it is the year in which the Venice festival has recovered its essence after overcoming the worst of the pandemic.
"The mask is no longer mandatory in screenings, although it is recommended, accredited journalists from all over the world have returned and the organization has wanted to send a message back to the theaters," says Tommaso Koch, special envoy of EL PAÍS in this video to cover the information of the contest, which this Saturday reveals its winners.
With this aroma of returning to the Venice of always, the Mostra has left several key moments this year that we review in the video that accompanies the news: the controversy that has surrounded
Don't worry darling,
Olivia Wilde's film, which has generated even more noise with some awkward moments in the projection;
the emotion of a cheered Brendan Fraser after the showing of
The Whale,
the new work by director Darren Aronofsky where he plays an obese professor, locked up in his house;
and the brave bet of
Argentina, 1985
to recount on the big screen the Trial of the Juntas, the trial of the nine soldiers who led the dictatorship between 1976 and 1983.
Timothée Chalamet, who premiered
Bones and All
, shone with his own light in the parade of stars, but it was on the red carpet where he confirmed his magnetism with a crazy public.
The eyes also looked at Ana de Armas, acclaimed for her performance as Marylin Monroe in
Blonde
,
and Penélope Cruz, who with
In the margins
,
Juan Diego Botto's debut feature, has brought the drama of evictions to Venice.
You can see all these moments in the video that heads this article.
