As a seasoned gamer with years of experience navigating through the labyrinth of movie festivals, I must admit that this year’s Venice Film Festival has been quite the rollercoaster ride. The grandeur of Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was undoubtedly the highlight, with its red carpet glamour and enthusiastic young crowd going gaga for Jenna Ortega.
Beetlejuiced
The premiere of Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice Beetlejuice stole the show on the first day of the Venice Film Festival. A dazzling display of red carpet glamour, graced by stars such as Monica Bellucci and Catherine O’Hara. Michael Keaton enjoyed himself immensely, using his iPhone to capture fans throughout the day. The venue was adorned with Beetlejuice enthusiasts in costumes, from the red carpet area right up to the press room. Winona Ryder chose a dress reminiscent of the film’s theme, but it was the young audience who went wild for Jenna Ortega, AKA Wednesday Addams, who arrived resplendent in a striking red gown. The excitement of Lido-mania is now upon us.
The Venetian media is irritated by the scarcity of press junkets: they complain about a lack of authorized interviews. During a press conference, Mariam Schaghaghi, a German journalist from Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, addressed this issue directly to Alberto Barbera. However, Barbera stated that he isn’t privy to the situation, clarifying that the accessibility of talent is determined by the distributors. Instead, they choose to concentrate media attention on the films when they are released later in the year.
Disclaimer Gets Dissed?
The viewing area for Alfonso Cuaron’s Apple+ series featuring Cate Blanchett, Kevin Kline, and Sacha Baron Cohen (remarkably transformed in a heavy, compelling role) is set to clear out following the second episode of the three-part series. It appears that a continuous three-episode marathon lasting 180 minutes might be too prolonged for viewers’ taste, or perhaps they didn’t take a liking to it.
Red Carpet Flip Flop
We conclude our roundup of curiosities with the white plastic flip-flops sported by Jim Simpson, the husband of Sigourney Weaver, who was awarded the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement. If until now we had become accustomed to sneakers paired with tuxedos, flip flops with socks on the red carpet were an absolute novelty. Had the director and actor perhaps forgotten his shoes? Were his feet hurting? Or did he want to launch a new trend? The mystery remains unsolved.
