‘Spencer,’ ‘The Last Duel' set for Venice Film Festival
The Venice International Film Festival unveiled a starry lineup of world premieres for September — including Pablo Larrain’s “Spencer,” starring Kristen Stewart as Princess Diana, and Ridley Scott’s medieval drama “The Last Duel,” featuring Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Adam Driver. The oldest film festival in the world is kicking off its 78th edition Sept. 1 on the Lido with the premiere of Pedro Almodóvar's "Madres paralelas," starring Penelope Cruz. Campion's film, about brothers in 1920s Montana, is another competition title, and one of two Netflix films debuting at the festival. Last year, Chloe Zhao's "Nomadland" premiered at the scaled-down but still in-person festival and was awarded the Golden Lion. Following on the heels of the Cannes Film Festival, the Venice Film Festival is expected to mostly return to its full glamour in September.
