Paolo Sorrentino’s ‘La Grazia’ Toplining ‘The Great Beauty’ Star Toni Servillo Set as Venice Film Festival Opener
Paolo Sorrentino's 'La Grazia' toplining 'The Great Beauty' star Toni Servillo has been set as Venice Film Festival opening film.
Servillo stars in “La Grazia” opposite Italian actor Anna Ferzetti, who recently appeared in Ferzan Ozpetek’s smash hit “Diamonds.” Plot details of Sorrentino’s new film are being kept under wraps besides the fact that it is a love story set somewhere in Italy. As previously revealed by Mubi boss Efe Cakarel, Jim Jarmusch’s triptych picture “Father Mother Sister Brother,” starring Cate Blanchett and Adam Driver, is believed to be up for a Lido competition slot. The upcoming edition of Venice is shaping up to be a star-studded affair with Benny Safdie’s “The Smashing Machine,” featuring Dwayne Johnson as two-time UFC heavyweight champ Mark Kerr and Emily Blunt as his wife Dawn; Luca Guadagnino’s #MeToo-themed thriller “After the Hunt” starring Julia Roberts, Andrew Garfield and Ayo Edebiri; and “Bugonia,” the latest collaboration between Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone — who were last at the fest in 2023 with the Oscar-winning “Poor Things” — all likely to be set for a Venice sendoff, as Variety has reported.
