Murdoch and Musk Spark a Star-Studded Venice Film Festival
Venice’s 83rd edition rolls out a glitzy and provocative lineup led by Danny Boyle’s Ink, about Rupert Murdoch’s Sun purchase, and Alex Gibney’s four-hour Musk, alongside high-profile titles such as Martin McDonagh’s Wild Horse Nine and Robert Pattinson-led Primetime. The festival also features documentaries and dramas from directors like Werner Herzog, Florian Zeller, and Nanni Moretti, with notable spotlight on real-life political/cultural subjects and a lower share of female-directed competition this year.
