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. mission to boco i feel a little bit a servant 31 years later they're giving me the golden lion 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 the elements of i was born in the luncheon region here 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

at the. yeah pedro almodovar was honored for his life's work in venice hopefully that will include more masterpieces in the years to come. i. have 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 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 the lines are 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 life into a century old art form. nowadays tend to enjoy films from the

keno an association of art house cinema is optimistic he points out that cinema audience numbers are actually growing for the year and it's a different way of seeing a film and of course not just because of the big screen understand 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 the north mid-range confirm fell and get an increasing number of film directors not opting to work with netflix they enjoy the freedom it gives them the streaming giants 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 business and the government to try to pull us down. whatever you need me to do i'm available there for. netflix leans back and says hey we trust you go for it we've got your back the

result will be grey. less we interfere the better the results that's how it works with any art form when there are vested interests be they financial political or studio interests then it will effect 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. most can many years now film festivals have 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 faces and for

a short period of time greek born french director caustic africa has done it in venice for his contributions to contemporary cinema has reservations about streaming platforms. but one can see more than just everywhere and his colleagues in the small village everywhere we painted a little money before it was the postman for the other head of the pier the digs in what would be the movie the food in the books and then see the many more who don't listen and for both of those movies coming people have seen them or what if that doesn't negate the other thing. the streaming platform is now a lot about us they know what we want change and for how long they know what's 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 hold on salaries in the audi 2 he's among those who are concerned about this development. just think of a risk is they'll go ok lots of. who watch netflix like certain actors 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 and top up your drink. how can move anything to compete. well with the latest gimmick 48. animals with 40 x. technology use moving seats all assented and to provide an over mental experience. it might work with stephen king's it's chapter 2 but it's unlikely to add much to an art house film sharing the experience is apparently crucial to the concept.

it's about experiencing a movie in a very immediate way to see if you laugh more if you're in a group but it's also about the group's reaction you know what did you make of it and on what did you like about it. the more. 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 wrote in his diary went to the movies. these days the film might still make as we we just probably wouldn't have gone to the movies to see it .

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 of the ultimate philip. not from the clone. 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 our.

director todd phillips best known for the hangover trilogy came to venice with his star joaquin phoenix. both were in high spirits confident that with joker they had an ace up their sleeves. face a guy is 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 fleck 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 on stage it always bombs he's a loser. i didn't refer to any customer relations of the character. it was just something that felt like it was or creation in some ways and think
7:54 am
that's what was really important for me. it's an inspired reinvention of the villain purpose even heath ledger's character pales in comparison to joaquin phoenix's joker. he lost $24.00 kilos to play the part of the underdog turned angel of vengeance. and just. got the 1st wash when. everyone laughed at me on no one well now you're saying that you have. 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 unless
