Venice Competition Entry 'The Echo Chamber' Explores Addiction and Codependency in a Single London Apartment

Andrea Pallaoro’s fourth feature, 'The Echo Chamber,' premiered at the 2026 Venice Film Festival as a Golden Lion contender. The film adapts the final unfinished screenplay of Bernardo Bertolucci, who died in 2018. Set entirely within a luxurious London apartment, the movie stars Luca Marinelli as a drug-addicted music producer, Alicia Vikander as his codependent physician, and Susan Sarandon as a reclusive singer. Critics praised the visual elegance and performances but noted the film’s slow pacing and melodramatic conclusion.

Geena Davis Steals the Spotlight With Thelma & Louise Theme at Coachella

Sabrina Carpenter leaned into a Thelma & Louise–themed moment at Coachella Weekend 2, with Geena Davis delivering a shortened mid‑set monologue as an older “Aunt Sabrina” in place of last weekend’s Susan Sarandon; the drive‑in set bit was trimmed, including a shorter monologue and pared‑down jokes. Corey Fogelmanis played a carhop, and Will Ferrell’s electrician bit was replaced by Terry Crews with new dialogue. Rumors swirled about Madonna joining Carpenter later in the show, and while a Madonna cameo did materialize in the broader lineup chatter, Davis’ appearance stood out as the marquee moment.
