Venice Film Festival 2021: the five (+1) most anticipated films on the Lido

“Diversity” is the first word that catches the eye when scrolling through the program of the Venice Film Festival. It is not, however, a diversity as Hollywood has declined in recent times. Rather, it is variety, the ability to offer stories at the antipodes: blockbusters, great biographies, auteur films and Italian “cases”, mixed within a schedule that seems to best accompany the restart of the cinema.

The Venice Film Festival, in the post-Covid summer, is colors and expectations: it is the ability to tell stories without becoming fossilized about a fashion, a genre, a habit.

And it is therefore that choosing the most anticipated among the films in Competition (and not only) was not an easy thing. Reading the program, one was dragged into the safe harbor of Pedro Almodóvar, whose Parallel Mothers was chosen to inaugurate the event. Then, we got lost in auteur cinema, Paul Schrader with the parable of a jailer who earns his life sitting at the green table, that of poker. It has come to Italy, a Spencer, yet another attractive Lady Diana biopic, to the great and potentially profitable remakes. What is left, at the end of the reading, is the gallery above, in which we have selected the five (+1) films that we most expect to see.
