Venice Film Festival: The 5 Most-Anticipated Movies, From ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ to Luca Guadagnino’s ‘Queer’
From Todd Phillips' 'Joker' sequel to Luca Guadagnino's 'Queer' with Daniel Craig, here are Owen Gleiberman's five most-anticipated movies at Venice.
For decades, I have longed to see these confessional books turned into movies, and it would be hard to think of a more bracing piece of casting than Daniel Craig as the Burroughs character in Luca Guadagnino’s lavish and freewheeling adaptation, which follows the author’s adventures in Mexico, notably his pursuit of a beautiful young man (played by Drew Starkey). She also led a life of famously temperamental high drama, which means this is actually Larraín’s third movie about a diva, following “Jackie” and “Spencer.” I’m a super-fan of both, and with Angelina Jolie in the title role, there is every reason to hope that this one sings. But I’m primed with curiosity to see his latest movie, which feels like an event on every level: It’s a riff on Ayn Rand’s “The Fountainhead,” it stars Adrien Brody and Felicity Jones, and it’s three hours and 15 minutes long.
