Festivals

Venice 2019 is hot. Very hot indeed – and we’re not talking about the quality of the films on offer, or the usual debates and controversies: temperatures are spectacularly high. And festival guests like Brad Pitt, Scarlett Johansson, Pedro Almodóvar, Liv Tyler, Laura Dern and Timothée Chalamet (in effigy, for now) just make it hotter.
