10:41 pm
in 2019 the festival paid tribute to the director and his life's work pedro almodovar is an icon for the last 30 years he's shaped european cinema like no other. book i feel a little bit as if 31 years later they're giving me the golden wind for the film i did in 88 and i'd really like to believe that it's 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 that's the element i was born in the mansion region and it's a very conservative preachers is about i mean you could almost say calvinist. because there was very little color you know even in the clothing people wore and. it's a very dry region. and i thought that this aridity was very beautiful to contemplate

a motive are skillfully links different genres citing classics like those of alfred hitchcock. he tweaks and protects the characters to suit his actors and works with that continuously. like antonio banderas now a hollywood star he was one of the motive ares 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 can't really deal with either of them.

conditions to the extravagant life of an artist. do that. if it was up to me and i could see that. pedro almodovar was honored for his life's work in venice hopefully that will include more masterpieces in the years to come i. was. told wrote most of our has something to say to people who like to watch movies on these things instead of in the cinema a film could be seen on a screen that's at least as big as the butt on the seat of the person watching it 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 what's needed to draw new wife into a century old art form. nowadays audiences tend to enjoy films from the

kino and association of art house cinema is. domestic he points out that cinema audience numbers are actually growing. at a year and it's a different way of seeing a film and of course not just because of the big screen on the stuff not because of state of the art technology that we don't all have in our living rooms but because you're engaging with the media and the other people you're watching with. and things i would get an increasing number of film directors not opting to work with netflix they enjoy the freedom it gives them this streaming giant reportedly put $200000000.00 into martin scorsese's new gangster movie the irishman and gave him full creative control which we sure are now free. to do business and the government are trying to polish. whatever you need me to do a movie there for. netflix leans back and says hey we trust you go for it we've got your back the result will be great the less we interfere the better the result
10:48 pm
that's 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 takes off. 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. what's at stake here is diversity of opinion and we need to keep a close eye on these developments. for many years now film festivals has been debating whether or not to screen movies made by streaming media services netflix originals for example didn't get a cinema release for only in selected spaces and for

certain subjects certain directors so they're the ones will get funded and others who attract fewer viewers will gradually disappear because it's all about reaching the biggest audience as possible. and audiences keep watching. the brave new world of entertainment is just so comfortable and convenient. you can hit the pause button whenever you feel like it take a break on top of your drink. how can the movie theaters compete. well with the latest gimmick 48. animals with 40 x. technology use moving seats all scented air to provide an all commenced experienced it might work with stephen king as it to to but it's unlikely to add much to an art house film sharing the experience is apparently crucial to the concept.
10:51 pm
it's about experiencing a movie in a very immediate way. f. more if you're in a group but it's also about the groups reaction you know what did you make of it and under what did you like about it and. we needed more king or 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 one's ever come up to me in a cinema and said i don't know you but let's discuss the film we just saw the. discussion a film now takes place on social media and fun sides. but that doesn't mean it's any less impassioned. in 1917 friends kept wrote in his diary went to the movies. these days a film might still make as we we just probably wouldn't have gone to the movies to see if.

there's 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 our times my personal favorite in venice this year the joker. jokes 6. the joker we love to hate the original comic book figure and batman's nemesis an arch enemy the ultimate philip. and not from the top. brilliantly embodied by heath ledger in the 2008 movie the dark knight. in his latest incarnation he's very different a broken man as much a victim as a perpetrator psychologically damaged reminiscent of taxi drivers travis bickle one of robert de niro's most iconic roles. i'm.

director todd phillips best known for the hangover trilogy. him to venice with his star joaquin phoenix. both were in high spirits confident that with joker they have an ace up their sleeves. searching for a dent in the i think it becomes mistakenly symbol and really what he was looking for is adulation he was never looking for the world to burn this joker. arthur flick has a condition he bursts into cackles of laughter usually at inappropriate moments he's heavily medicated i want to be stand up comedian he can't keep it together onstage it always bombs he's a loser. it didn't refer to any customer relations of the character. it was just something that felt like it was our creation some ways and the thing
10:54 pm
that's what was really important for me to it. it's an inspired reinvention of the villain purpose even heath ledger's character pales in comparison to joaquin phoenix's joker. he lost 24 kilos to play the part of this underdog turned angel of vengeance. in a just. cause of the washington where. everyone laughed at me for no one well you know i can say that again. suddenly this mentally ill freakish figure has followers a parable for our time in northeast 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
10:55 pm
up i mean you know. todd phillips joker surpasses expectations it's a blockbuster with this. goal of an independent film a definite oscar contender garden news. is a joke to you. marie one small thing you know where you bring me a. community just muse joker. the clown. joker shows cinemark and still combined spectacle and subsets the hollywood and powerhouse preditions the old ways of making movies are being disrupted but filmmakers are finding new ways to tell their stories and get them seen on screens both big and small from what i've seen in venice this year i'm pretty optimistic about the future set up so as joker says put on a happy. africa
