In. This series mega productions are set to gross billions of dollars but smaller independent movies are disappearing from cinemas. Meanwhile more and more Online Streaming Services are being launched fine for our attention. Squeezed between streaming and blockbusters can traditional cinema survive. We sent a ws film a quarter skop roxboro to the Venice Film Festival to find out amid the red carpet glitz and old world charm what the future of cinema looks like. Venice is the worlds oldest Film Festival but its on the cutting edge this is where oscar hopeful start where all. Matches up with the our house see i cant think of a better place to look for the future of movie making. What i love about. Being a dad its almost. Like a little. Crazy. One time me too what i love about nicole. Is a great dancer fractures. Shes a mother who plays and really plays. She gives great presents. Nicole and charlie are the perfect couple or so it seems but what starts out as a beautiful love affair and bitter divorce Scarlett Johansson and adam driver are both at the top of their game. The Venice Film Festival is living up to its reputation as a bellwether for the oscars Netflix Productions included. I think we should talk ok scenes from a marriage for better and for worse. Relationships children the chaos of everyday life stuff everyone can relate to the time when i met with. I was actually going through a divorce and i didnt know. What we were meeting about. The family as an anchor in a turbulent world seems to be a central theme at this years Venice Film Festival. Against the backdrop of glitz and red carpet glamour. Among the premieres the german film pelican blood. What does it mean to say that someone is evil are you born evil become it can you treat trauma at one point might you just have to give up on someone. A devil child or just a traumatized little girl. You know hawse plays a single mother she already has one adopted child and adopts another. An orphan from bulgaria but she turns out not to be as angelic as she looks. A police horse trainer who has a magic touch with wayward horses the because pushed to her limits by right. All. The. Got to the muslim name. For. Motherhood is a nightmare from which there is no escape because trapped with a child who becomes increasingly manic destructive and ultimately murders and intense film that asks questions with no easy answers should a child be saved at any cost. What if they cant be saved. As me but i thought the subject of pelican blood moved me deeply so its important to me that the audience be left with questions that they leave feeling unsettled. Not all the films in venice are so introspective many are reflections on the state of the world. Another focus of this years festival films based on true stories. Meryl streep stars in the laundromat a comedy about the 2016 pandemic paper scandal. Thats the story empty shallow know the story somebody paid and somebody is making money from it maybe lots of people. So ellens husband has died in a boating accident determined to get an insurance payout she follows the money and stumbles onto an International Tax avoidance and Money Laundering scheme somebody is making money from it all goes back to this law firm. So what happens next what do we do next were living in a moment where the news cycle is racing and were very sing to keep up with Current Events and this is this is an entertaining. Flash funny way of telling a very very dark black hearted joke a joke thats being played on all of us people died. And people die still drive global high finals as a farce. When a whistle blower leaks confidential documents the shock waves go round the world. Even hollywood is affected. And. That is my money most of the time we dont even know. And. Inevitably there are also critical voices in venice where the female directors the festivals lagging behind when it comes to gender parity just 2 women have films in competition. One of them is haifa. From saudi arabia. Her film the perfect candidate is about marnie on a young small town doctor struggling to do her job despite dilapidated conditions and patriarchal restrictions in a country where older men in particular refuse to be treated by a woman whom most cant listen if you kiss money just make. The guy debord new music. But that doesnt when the overall doubt about. Name which was nobody yet it will be our what about. The pigs and its a business that i want to be part of the change and part of what is happening here who contributed to the dialogue for the new generation has so much more opportunities to learn and to grow and to go places. Mario runs for office in the municipal election to find convention with the support of her sisters in unheard portrait about empowerment and the change coming about in saudi arabia this was one to talk to you and i think ok. So i. And many of the fact that i just saw. The one of the line you intend to shoot him as you said but its a credit. Attorney is going to be. Willing to come back here but if they dont get a knife behind him they just some. Guy among the a list stars defying the sweltering temperatures to hit town brad pitt besieged as usual by fans and for talk of 1st in ad astra he plays major roy mcbride a fearless space cowboy and lonely traveler to the final frontier traumatized by the loss of his father a famous astronaut its a cross between an action movie and a psychological drama. It was a constant effort just to try to maintain this balance and try to keep this this this story unfolding in a in a very subtle delicate way. Roya sent on a mission to neptune to find us missing father displeasure and bright. And attempting to reach dr clifford mcbride. This is dr and brian seem. To not like she. Sam lee drama even in outer space the 2001000 Venice Film Festival entries range from the existential to the political and back again. Into a mode of r. Is an old cinematic master whose influence a generation of filmmakers the crazy spaniard known for his flamboyant technicolor dramas has already had a huge influence on the future of cinema but hes not done yet he. Was. In there when the if you are good in line is a really important prize. He and since it involves venice. The place where i was actually born as a director. For me its a very special emotion we. Want to give me a little boy oh boy. If you talk about europe and 988 all mode of are submitted this tumultuous comedy to the venice festival it didnt win him a prize but praise and encouragement just what an aspiring filmmaker needs. In 2019 the festival paid tribute to the director and his lifes work Pedro Almodovar is an icon for the last 30 years hes shaped a european cinema like no other. I miss him to poke i feel a little bit as if 31 years later theyre giving me the golden lion for the film i did in 88 and id really like to believe that its a random act of poetic justice. Pedro almodovar tends to ensure that the characters in his films get justice even when the world around them is usually unjust. And the element i was born in the love mansion region and its a very conservative preachers is about i mean you could almost say calvinist. There was very little color you know even in the clothing people wore and. Its a very dry region. And i thought that this aridity was very beautiful to contemplate. But it was the exact opposite of the way i felt that audio and were going to Cynthia Cynthia is what do you want to say that i think. Most of our stillness are full of power color and life like the people whose stories he tells. Theyre often outsiders in society but theyre always strong and charming individuals with all their weaknesses obsessions and passions. The golden lion for his lifes work also honors the quake characters created by our motive are for some actors they were stepping stones on their path to hollywood such as penelope cruz. Is felicity so intimate and under him essentially is like as he said inviting. Her to be pretty busy in a shut. Up amount of our skilfully links different genres citing classics like those of alfred hitchcock. Tweaks perfects the characters to suit his actors and works with it continuously. Like Antonio Banderas now a Hollywood Star he was one of the all motiv ours discoveries in his latest film pain and glory the director gave him the lead role. Pain and glory are 2 words which are very difficult for me. On the one hand i tried not to complain too much about pain during the production of the film. And as for glory i try not to show off about it. But i cant really deal with either of them. Going to my side or. A major film director suffering from a creative block due to ill health ponders his life as an artist. And any kind i just feel like playing a character that he sexually be ill tell you all for the most part i can tell you in the shooting of the movie. As we were going i met he was actually see me talking. You know. After conciliation with his past that he was getting happy. Of here are happier when we finish the movie i saw that the happiest. That i have seen in 40. 2 years that we know it. Was just. Really and affectionately most of our connects the dots from a childhood in deprived conditions to the extravagant life of an artist. Due to. Finish and i can see that. Pedro almodovar was honored for his lifes work in venice hopefully that will include more masterpieces in the years to come. I. Pedro almodovar has something to say to people who like to watch movies on these things instead of in the cinema a film should be seen on a screen thats at least as big as the butt on the seat of a person watching but smartphones and streaming are transforming the Film Industry go either blurring between movies and t. V. Between t. V. And streaming so is cinema dead or are netflix and co just whats needed to draw new wife into a century old art form. Nowadays what it says tend to enjoy films from the comfort of their homes rather than the cinema. Netflix amazon prime disney and apple coming soon streaming services on. The internet has killed a Video Rental Store is it about to kill the Movie Theater to. Media experts marcos s. Klein says that streaming services with their vast array of choices do indeed pose a threat to old school cinemas. Korean food talk netflix it for filmmaking might benefit from netflix but cinema started to come for the streaming you know has entered the arena to battle it out with cinemas for their cultural or germany your film astana. Our way of bantling our cinemas those magical places where the lights go out and we settle down in the darkness to be transported to another world. No were not says Christiane Boyer the head of a. G. Keno an association of art house cinema is optimistic he points out that cinema audience numbers are actually growing. Very year. Its a different way of seeing a felt and of course not just because of the big screen not because of state of the Art Technology that we dont all have in our living rooms but because youre engaging with the media and the other people youre watching with. Get an increasing number of film directors not opting to work with netflix same joy the freedom it gives them the streaming giant reportedly put 200000000. 00 into Martin Scorseses new cameras to movie the irishman and gave him full Creative Control which we sure are now free. To do this and the government are trying to polish. Whatever you need me to do im available there for. Netflix leans back and says hey we trust you go for it weve got your back the result will be great the less we interfere the better the results thats how it works with any art form when there are vested interests be they financial political or studio interests then it will affect the product. For and then they shuffle. These days the streaming Services Industry is worth billions. But many are worried that only one company can win the streaming wars and the result would be a monopoly. In the future there might just be a few companies imposing rules at Film Festivals are actually dictating terms to states. Whats at stake here is diversity of opinion and we need to keep a close eye on these developments. To many years now Film Festivals have been debating whether or not to screen movies made by streaming Media Services netflix originals for example dont get a cinema release only in selected faces and for a short period of time greek born french director. On that in venice for his contribution to contemporary cinema has reservations about streaming platforms. Everywhere. In the small village everywhere we painted a little money before it was the postman for the other head of the police the thugs in what would be the movie the food in the box and those in the limo who dont listen in for both those movies coming people have seen them or what if that doesnt negate the thought of this in. The streaming platforms know a lot about us then they will be watching and for how long they know whats popular now what will have lasting popularity and what will attract new subscribers and they use algorithms to decide what to show viewers. Mexican director. As in yet he too is among those who are concerned about this development. Just think of the risk is theyll go ok lots of people who watch netflix like certain actors certain subjects Certain Directors so theyre the ones will get funded and others who attract fewer viewers will gradually disappear because its all about reaching the biggest audience as possible. And audiences keep watching. The brave new world of entertainment is just so comfortable convenient. You can hit the pause button whenever you feel like it take a break on top of your drink. How can you move anything compete. Well with the latest in a. 48. Animals with 40 x. Technology use moving seats or scented air to provide an all commenced experience. It might work with stephen kings it chapter 2 but its unlikely to add much to an art house film sharing the experience is apparently crucial to the concept. Get your best defense about experiencing a movie in a very immediate way to see if you laugh more if youre in a group but its also about the groups reaction you know what did you make of it and what did you like about it. We needed more king orthe we romanticize the idea of cinema as a place to talk about film it never was we might discuss movies with our friends but in my old life no ones ever come up to me in a cinema and said i dont know you but lets discuss the film we just saw. Discussion a film now takes place on social media and fun sides. But that doesnt mean its any less impassioned. In 1913 friends cuffed wrote in his diary went to the movies. These days a film might still make as we we just probably wont have gone to the movies to see and. Theres one film in venice the best can buy the personal drama of in the cinema with the spectacle of blockbuster movies it took an iconic character from a comic book and turned him into an antihero for archives my personal favorite in venice this year the joker. Jokes 6. The joker we love to hate the original comic book figure and batmans nemesis an arch enemy the ultimate villain. Enough from a cause. Brilliantly embodied by heath ledger in the 2008 movie the dark knight.

Arthur slick has a condition he bursts into cackles of laughter usually at inappropriate moments hes heavily medicated i want to be stand up comedian he cant keep it together on stage and always bombs hes a loser. I didnt refer to any Customer Relations of the character. It was just something that felt like it was our creation some ways and the think thats what was really important for me in the key to it. Its an inspired reinvention of the villain purpose even heath ledgers character pales in comparison to Joaquin Phoenixs joker. He lost 24 kilos to play the part of this underdog turned angel of vengeance. And just. Got the office where. Everyone laughed at me on no one well now you can say that again. Suddenly this mentally ill freakish figure has followers a parable for our time in ne case again there were there were more things than just societies indifference toward him that made him and turned him into the joker there was this narcissism in arthur and this need to be applauded and looked up to you know.
