Festival

Festival (1996)

Drama

The annual film festival in Venice is, of course, an ideal place to make a film (how come no-one has thought of it before). Everything is there in Pupi Avati's Festival: the famous hotels Des Bain and Excelsior on the Lido, the shimmering sandy beach which captivated Visconti. The film was made last spring and exploits the presence of passing film stars such as Jack Nicholson. We see the hysterical press conferences, where journalists and experts ask intelligent questions-without listening to the answers.

Director: Pupi Avati
Writers: Antonio Avati, Pupi Avati, Nino Marino, Giorgio Gosetti, Doriano Fasoli.
