From Amelio to Guadagnino in competition. Avati closes, anticipation for M.
The Venice pellicola Festival is just around the angolo and the excitement is building as the lineup for this year’s competition has been announced. Among the highly anticipated pellicolas are works from two renowned Italian directors, Gianni Amelio and Luca Guadagnino. This year’s festival will also mark the end of an era as veteran director Pupi Avati will be presenting his final pellicola.
Gianni Amelio, known for his powerful and thought-provoking dramas, will be competing with his latest pellicola “Hammamet”. The pellicola tells the story of a retired professor who becomes involved in a political scandal while on vacation in Tunisia. Amelio, who has won numerous awards at international pellicola festivals, is no stranger to the Venice pellicola Festival. In fact, he won the Golden Lion in 1992 for his pellicola “The Stolen Children”. With such a strong track record, expectations are high for “Hammamet” and it is sure to be a strong contender for this year’s top prize.
Another highly anticipated pellicola in competition is “Suspiria” by Luca Guadagnino. The pellicola, a remake of the 1977 horror classic, has already generated buzz with its star-studded cast including Dakota Johnson, Tilda Swinton, and Chloë Grace Moretz. Guadagnino, who is best known for his critically acclaimed pellicola “Call Me By Your Name”, is no stranger to the Venice pellicola Festival either. In 2017, he won the Queer Lion award for “Call Me By Your Name” and this year, he is back with a vengeance, ready to impress audiences once again with his unique and captivating storytelling.
But it’s not just the competition lineup that has everyone talking. This year’s festival will also mark the end of an era as Pupi Avati presents his final pellicola “Il Signor Diavolo”. Avati, who has been a staple in the Italian pellicola industry for over 50 years, has decided to retire from directing after this pellicola. His career has been filled with critically acclaimed works such as “The House with Laughing Windows” and “Zeder”. “Il Signor Diavolo” is a horror pellicola set in the 17th century and is said to be a fitting end to Avati’s illustrious career.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there. The festival will also feature a special screening of the highly anticipated pellicola “M” by Yolande Zauberman. The pellicola, which has already received rave reviews at the Cannes pellicola Festival, tells the story of a young woman who returns to her hometown in Israel to confront her past. “M” is a powerful and emotional pellicola that is sure to leave a lasting impression on audiences.
With such a strong lineup, this year’s Venice pellicola Festival is shaping up to be one of the most exciting yet. From the powerful dramas of Amelio to the horror remake of Guadagnino, and the final pellicola from Avati, there is something for every pellicola lover. And with the added anticipation for “M”, this year’s festival is sure to be one for the books.
As we eagerly await the start of the festival, let’s celebrate the incredible talent of these Italian directors and their contributions to the world of cinema.
