The Venice Film Festival kicks off this week and that means locker room dollar cram of the film world are heading to italy to watch the biggest film premiere with the biggest stars and were about to take a peek at some of the movies theyll be.

Psychological evaluation. Describe your current emotional. Ready to do my job suggest my beliefs. To control matter. And system. Space congolese my fathers sponsible. Syria this thing seriously has oscar nomination written all over it great cast and director james gray said that he wanted to depict space travel the most realistic that anyone had ever seen it in any film to date of course yug. I.

C. Comics villain that we all know and love or hate this time with joaquin fever you know that youll need something to do long one of these are. Pictures that i think you need to return to see joker with Joaquin Phoenix well ill tell you a little bit about it so this version of joker really has a psychological take on the villain with Joaquin Phoenix playing him as a stand up comedian there we go stand of comedian who is exposed to the hard knocks of life and his psyche just sort of cracks and then he turns to chaos and the dark side as well now this is a role thats been played in recent years by a lot of big actors including Jared Leto Heath ledger won an oscar for his portrayal of joker so its going to be exciting to see what Joaquin Phoenix. Also a great actor brings to this chaos hes a great actor too but its not all about hollywood was should be looking at the festival now one movie i am excited to see that we actually just got a little look at there is called the truth this is by japanese director here. But it takes place in france and he does something that no french director has managed to do hes brought together 2 of the big icons of french cinema catskin the nov and Juliette Binoche for the very 1st time in a film can you believe it took a japanese director to do that and a little bit about the movie. Plays a big actress must come easy to her and shes just written her memoirs and should it be noticed her place her daughter is not happy with whats in them ok lets have a quick look at that we sort of tag about. You know that you dont need to call me as something i no longer do you want to. And not want to know says you dont need anybody thank. You could you keep up that week. People need to. Know what you have got an exam and in the mouth at the end now i need them i need to put this next piece because i think you. So this is. A does 1st movie outside japan now International Audiences know him best for shoplifters the movie that won him the top prize at cannes and there talking of can this is the 2nd year that the french festival refused to show netflix films and of course venice is benefits its right there are going to venice last year the big the big talking point was of course that the film roma couldnt be played at cannes because it was a netflix movie that came to venice and it got 10 Oscar Nominations this year it could be the same thing some very strong movies from netflix have gone out to cannes but again some. Venice and one of them is the movie laundromat starring meryl streep i think weve got some pics of that now that flicks hasnt released any trailers of this its still under wraps here we go so these this is all weve got this is directed by Steven Soderbergh about the Panama Papers scandal this is actually opening the festival another movie from netflix is Marriage Story which is a comedy drama about marital issues and stars Scarlett Johansson and adam driver by the wonderful director Noah Baumbach this promises to be another corky family portrait which is what he does best then is once again clearly benefiting from cancer no netflix policy now the good news is also. Venice has doubled the number of female driver. To this year as opposed to one last year yeah they came under huge fire for this last year and the director of the festival said well theres not going to be a woman quota if they get in they get in this year to have gotten and a lot of critics say the festival is biased ok david as always thank you for your insights well have a culture more on the festival later in the week thank you.
