A mother who plays really plays. Shes gives a great present. Talk ok. You. Start. Right now over to venice and to our correspondent scott rocks. The. Fed is known as a kind of stasis for the oscars so have you seen any awards worthy movies so far. Well the the 2 that you just introduced there i think both have a good chance of making it to the oscars next year Marriage Story in particular. What was amazing. This is basically a sort of an update on kramer vs kramer the story of a of a divorce told in excruciating detail adam driver and hansen are the pair that split and theyre both phenomenal adam driver particular i think if he doesnt get an oscar nomination for this performance all i dont know ill turn in my card but it was truly excruciating look at a marriage falling apart but done beautifully with just the right touches of humor i thought it was a really amazing film and. Similar with ad astra very different type of movie but the form of the brad pitt give that which is almost almost worthless i mean most the movie was looking at him staring into space or thinking deeply very subtle performance that he gives but the the film as a whole is really sort of an epic look at a very personal story the story of a. Man and his father and try to deal with his daddy issues essentially on the down on the biggest cat in the financial bubble on the entire universe now no real Film Festival would be any good without a bit of scandal whats the big controversy this year. Well this year its Roman Polanskis film an officer in the spy its a period drama but its not really the film is the fact that Roman Polanski directed in rome clancy of course oscar winning director a legendary film director of china town rosemarys baby but is also infamous for. Having been convicted of statutory rape over 40 years ago and having fled the United States and being on the lam a fugitive for the last 40 odd years so the controversy is should a festival like going to celebrate a man who did what Roman Polanski did by presenting his film in such a glaring glamorous setting as they are doing ok lets move to the film itself so youve seen the film whats the film like. The film itself is actually very good i mean whatever you think about Roman Polanski what if you however you fall in the controversy around him nobody can claim the man is not a great director and this film and often the spies about the dreyfus affair the infamous antisemitic affair in 1000 century france where a jewish french soldier was falsely accused of treason polanski tells a story like a historical thriller combined with a courtroom drama and its pacing is great the acting is great really nicely told story very interesting compelling story well told and it was just about the film i think everybody would be in agreement that this is a great movie the fact that its polanski that directed it and the fact that theyre giving him such a platform to present this film to be celebrated thats whats causing the scandal here. Ok what else is coming up in the next week or so what do you getting excellent what are people there getting excited about. Well people here and myself in particular are getting really really excited about one film joker premiers here and its a superhero movie and theres never been a superhero movie premiering in venice or one of these great grand festivals but its both a very different type of superhero movie joker if youre not familiar with the comic books is batmans nemesis sort of evil clown in the batman comics here hes given his own movie you walk in phoenix plays joker for the film apparently is more in the vein of a Martin Scorsese film in fact Martin Scorsese produced the movie with me a very very dark look at the superhero genre is already getting a huge amount of going in and if it plays like people expect it to here i can guarantee you walk in phoenix will be on the oscar stage at a years time. To very briefly spanish legendary spanish direct sampedro dove getting a lot of time Achievement Award in good time. Oh yeah yeah i mean well overdue. This crazy spaniard with your melodramatic and that a in the same technicolor movies he transformed european cinema and world said ok we will all go or do we learn anything new unfortunately with. Thanks very much thanks very much scott writes from. Now an exhibition is just opened in a museum in the german city of ball which in a way gives hope that some of the ancient sites in the middle east that were destroyed by isis in recent is could be rebuilt with the help of technology its a leap of faith but theyve been virtually recreated in the exhibition maybe one day such technology could help with real reconstruction. Aleppo muscle myra places that survived millenia before they were reduced to rubble by the socalled Islamic State a show at the german art an exhibition hall or one disc went in bonn now resurrects the ancient city is virtually leading visitors on an incredible journey to last places of once breathtaking beauty destroyed perhaps forever in the real world by war and fanaticism the viewer can fly over the locations on huge screens going into the buildings with 3 d. Glasses and getting their own picture is very important to show a whole group of people of various. Of our side to go over or 2 or. 3 have no or a program to destroy and destroy the. Most fabulous shards of the war. Its a painful exhibition for many its here that the extent of the destruction is made clear World Heritage sites within reach. As well it just feels spooky there is strictly looking at this its horrible how Something Like this can happen in this day and age. Its as a human catastrophe for. This is if somehow horrible but you also get the feeling being in the middle of it that youre right there so you may zing. In the projections reason were innocent of this franchise control heritage and prompt questions about its future. So keep however the exhibition also gives hope so gives the political hope that cultural sites like these can be in politics reconstructed thanks to these possibilities and technologies certain whether the structures can indeed be rebuilt is a question that can only be answered peacetime.
