Sorcerer 12,043 Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 (edited) Alberto Barbera reveals how he made the Italian festival the hottest spot to debut a film—and how it will juggle having both Brad and Angelina on the carpet. Every year, there are headline-grabbing moments in Venice like Lady Gaga on a boat. Do you have a favorite moment like that from the last couple of years? Well, you mentioned Lady Gaga. I think that is a perfect example of a very special moment. Do you remember the red carpet of A Star Is Born? It was magic, because she was on the red carpet with this beautiful white dress with feathers and so on, and then it started to rain, but she didn't want to leave the red carpet. She stayed on the red carpet taking photos, signing autographs and so on. And then she was completely wet. So she came to my office, trying to dry herself and gown. And Bradley Cooper was outside with me, discussing the film and the expectation around the film. And then she came out of the office, and she was trembling, and he said, "Oh, I don't understand why. You should be used to this, being in concerts with hundreds of thousands of people waiting for you." She told me, "Yeah, of course, but this is my first time in a film." So she was shaking, but then of course the response of the critics and the audience to the film was so fantastic. It was a beautiful evening for everybody. She’ll be back with Joker: Folie À Deux this year. The first film was a bit polarizing when it premiered at Venice. Do you anticipate the sequel to get a similar reaction? Yes, I think so. If you expect just a second part of the previous one, exactly the same kind of narrative and situation and so on, you are wrong, because the theme is much darker. It is much more inventive from every point of view. It's completely unexpected. I think it is very bold, and brave, and creative, and an incredibly original film. https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/story/venice-film-festivals-artistic-director-interview-awards-insider Edited August 16 by Sorcerer 4 9 7 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like you generally wouldn't use those words to describe the film if it wasn't good.

Ok, I'm trolling a bit I suppose. Those words are positives, apart from polarizing, but then they're saying that the first movie was polarizing and it was basically a major success. On the other hand, if he thought the movie didn't work, he's not going to say 'I thought it didn't work', but he might say jt's bold, brave and original.
