Venice 2016, Day 2 – A Day in the Light (Between Oceans)
What is the proper word? Falicia? Vibender? Does it matter? On the second day on the Lido the Light was on the red carpet, and the fans found it very good. Golden Globe nominees Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender – who met and became an item on the set of Derek Cianfrance’s The Light Between Oceans – were everywhere as their film screened in competition- followed closely by Golden Globe winner Amy Adams and Golden Globe nominee Jeremy Renner, stars of Denis Villeneuve’s Arrival, and Lido veteran Wim Wenders, his excellent sneaker collection and his The Beautiful Days of Aranjuez. In other news, La La Land and Arrival were picked up for the exclusive line-up of this year’s Telluride Film Festival, and a new Lido theater, long in the works, finally opened to a little bit of a disaster.
