6.1The annual film festival in Venice is, of course, an ideal place to make a film (how come no-one has thought of it before). Everything is there in Pupi Avati's Festival: the famous hotels Des Bain and Excelsior on the Lido, the shimmering sandy beach which captivated Visconti. The film was made last spring and exploits the presence of passing film stars such as Jack Nicholson. We see the hysterical press conferences, where journalists and experts ask intelligent questions-without listening to the answers.

NRA man, an actor. The man calls himself Zorro — he lives on the streets, dances at night, and spends his days following “normal” people to expose their hypocrisy and insecurity. And the actor? The actor is also a drifter, living like a wanderer, and night after night, theater after theater, the man’s words end up infecting his psyche — and that of those who listen, seated in the audience. The new work by Castellitto, ironically suspended between theater and life.
