MILAN — There's no doubt fashion will play a big role in the upcoming edition of the Venice International Film Festival , running Aug. 27 to Sept. 6.
Not only is the event expected to serve major red carpet momentary, but a documentary on Marc Jacobs directed by no less than Sofia Coppola is to be presented as part of the out-of-competition section of the event.
Named "Marc by Sofia," the 97-minute film will retrace the designer's work and the long-standing friendship between the two and promises to feature plenty of archival footage, including those tracing to the 1994 guerrilla-style sidewalk fashion show Coppola and Spike Jonze staged in New York outside the Marc Jacobs show venue for the brand X-girl by Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon and stylist Daisy Von Furth.
Leading directors ranging from Guillermo del Toro, Yorgos Lanthimos, Gus Van Sant and Jim Jarmusch to Kathryn Bigelow, Paolo Sorrentino and Luca Guadagnino are all slated to touch base at Venice's landmark Lido flanked by the respective star-packed casts and more. These will include A-list names such as Julia Roberts, George Clooney, Cate Blanchett, Al Pacino, Idris Elba, Emma Stone, Emily Blunt, Laura Dern, Adam Driver, Ayo Edebiri, Andrew Garfield and Chloë Sevigny, just to cite a few.
As revealed earlier this month, the event will open with the world premiere of "La Grazia," the new movie directed by Academy Award-winning director Paolo Sorrentino, whose synopsis is kept under wraps but promises to center on a love story set in Italy.
The film will be among the 21 titles competing at the festival, running against other major motion pictures. These will include del Toro's much-awaited adaptation of Mary Shelley's novel "Frankenstein" starring Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, Christoph Waltz and Mia Goth, among others. Incidentally, a documentary on the Mexican director titled "Sangre del Toro" will also screen out-of-competition.
"Jay Kelly" by Noah Baumbach and written with Greta Gerwig will likely bring to the red carpet leading actor Clooney along with his castmates Adam Sandler, Laura Dern, Riley Keough, Isla Fisher, Josh Hamilton and Alba Rohrwacher, to name a few.
