Rome, Jul 25 (EFE).- The film “White Noise”, written and directed by the American Noah Baumbach, will open the 79th Venice Film Festival, and will aspire to the Golden Lion, announced today the organizers of the event, which will It will take place between August 31 and September 10.
“It’s truly wonderful to be back at the Venice Film Festival and it’s an incredible honor to bring ‘White Noise’ as the opening film. This is a place that loves cinema so much, and it’s a thrill and a privilege to join the incredible filmmakers who have presented their films here,” said the 52-year-old New York filmmaker.
The film, which is Baumbach’s return to Venice after presenting “Marriage Story” in 2019, stars Dam Driver, Greta Gerwig, Don Cheadle, Raffey Cassidy, Sam Nivola, May Nivola, Jodie Turner-Smith, Andre L. Benjamin, and Lars Edinge.
“It is a great honor to open the 79th Venice Film Festival with White Noise, waiting for the film to be finished on time,” said Alberto Barbera, director of the event, whose full program will be announced tomorrow, Tuesday.
“Adapted from Don DeLillo’s great novel, Baumbach has created an original, ambitious and compelling work that plays with measure in various registers: dramatic, tongue-in-cheek, satirical. The result is a film that examines our obsessions, doubts and fears rooted in the 80s, but with very clear references to contemporary reality”, he added.
“White Noise”, distributed by Netflix, adapts the novel of the same title by De Lillo, one of the great contemporary storytellers in the US and in which he explores themes such as consumerism, the importance of the media or man-made natural disasters .
“At once hilarious and terrifying, lyrical and absurd, ordinary and apocalyptic, ‘White Noise’ chronicles a contemporary American family’s attempts to deal with the mundane conflicts of everyday life, grappling with the universal mysteries of love and death, and the possibility of happiness in an uncertain world”, explain the organizers.
Director, screenwriter and producer, Baumbach was born in Brooklyn in 1969 and his films include Kicking and Screaming, The Squid and the Whale, My Sister’s Wedding, The Wacky World of Greenberg, Frances Ha, Young Manhood, Mistress America, The Meyerowitz Stories, Story of a Marriage and the documentary De Palma.
