VENICE FILM FESTIVAL 2011 - Favorite picture

It's my favorite photo from the 68th Venice Film Festival so far.

When I saw its preview on Just Jared, there was just thoughtful Al Pacino, who was watching his new movie "Wilde Salomè" at the Venice Festival, on September 4. But when I discovered there were also two actresses Lucila Sola (center) and Jessica Chastain (right), who were chatting, I thought "Oh, women!". By the way, if you don't know yet, Lucila is Al Pacino's girlfriend.

"Coriolanus" (2011) - Trailer, synopsis

Ralph Fiennes presents his directorial debut, which appears to be a modern adaptation of the play "Coriolanus" by William Shakespeare. Synopsis: "Caius Martius Coriolanus (played by Ralph Fiennes himself), a revered and feared Roman General is at odds with the city of Rome and his fellow citizens. Pushed by his controlling and ambitious mother Volumnia (Vanessa Redgrave) to seek the exalted and powerful position of Consul, he is loath to ingratiate himself with the masses whose votes he needs in order to secure the office. When the public refuse to support him, Coriolanus's anger prompts a riot which culminates in his expulsion from Rome. The banished hero then allies himself with his sworn enemy Tullus Aufidius (Gerard Butler) to take his revenge on the city." (Official Icon Entertainment site) Also starring Brian Cox as Menenius and Jessica Chastain as wife Virgilia. Movie was presented In Competition at the 61st Berlin International Film Festival.

Review from The Guardian.

Рэйф Файнс представляет нам свой режиссерский дебют, который является современной адаптацией пьесы "Кориолан" Уильяма Шекспира. Сюжет: Кай Марций Кориолан (Рэйф Файнс), почитаемый римский полководец находится в центре конфликта с городом и его жителями. Подталкиваемый своей амбициозной мамашей Волумнией (Ванесса Редгрейв) он делает стать консулом, но ненавидит себя за то, что втирается в доверие к людям, да бы заполучить их голоса. Когда граждане отказываются его поддерживать, злость Кориолана провоцирует массовые беспорядки, которые приводят к его изгнанию из Рима. Тогда изгнанный герой вступает в схватку со своим давним врагом Туллом Авфидием (Джерард Батлер), что бы отомстить городу. Другие роли исполняют Брайан Кокс и Джессика Честейн. Фильм был представлен в рамках 61го Берлинского кинофестиваля.

Release dates - 1 December 2011 (Russia), 2 December 2011 (USA), 20 January 2012 (UK).
