Film Festival opens on Wednesday with all health limitations lifted, but with the emotional fallout of the pandemic echoed in the many films exploring families facing trauma, which highlight a new generation of talent.<\/p>\n<p>For movie fans it will be a welcome return to normal at the world\u2019s oldest film festival, as they are once again able to greet stars arriving at the Lido red carpet for the 11-day festival.   <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe missed the atmosphere, the mood, the joy of the people watching the talent on the red carpet,\u201d festival director Alberto Barbera told Reuters.<\/p>\n<p>Regarded as a launch pad for Oscar contenders, Venice has become increasingly important for production houses looking to showcase some of their most eye-catching movies, which this year feature a younger-than-usual line-up of budding A-listers.<\/p>\n<p>Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet, Ana de Armas, Sadie Sink, Harry Styles and Florence Pugh are just some of the new generation of stars, who will be rubbing shoulders with more established festival favourites such as Penelope Cruz, Cate Blanchett, Tilda Swinton, Christoph Waltz and Sigourney Weaver.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that we are facing a sort of renovation of the generation of the talent and the filmmakers as well,\u201d said Barbera. \u201cThis is the cinema of tomorrow, of course.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Venice draws together movies from vastly different countries and cultures, many appear to have a similar theme coursing through them \u2014 dysfunctional families struggling to overcome trauma and chaos.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe pandemic created a lot of problems inside the families \u2026  and most of the films that we are showing in the festival are reflecting this situation,\u201d said Barbera. \u201cThe tone is pretty dark, actually.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>TOXIC<\/p>\n<p>The opening picture, director Noah Baumbach\u2019s \u201cWhite Noise\u201d, which stars Adam Driver and Greta Gerwig, should provide some humour as it shows an American family\u2019s efforts to deal with everyday life even as they confront toxic disaster.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Son\u201d, starring Hugh Jackson, shows a family struggling to reunite after falling apart, while \u201cThe Eternal Daughter\u201d, follows an artist, played by Swinton, as she confronts long-buried secrets with her elderly mother.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Whale\u201d by Darren Aronofsky, portrays Brendan Fraser as an obese man attempting to reconnect with his estranged daughter, played by \u201cStranger Things\u201d actor Sink.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOther People\u2019s Children\u201d by Rebecca Zlotowski, \u201cLove Life\u201d by Koji Fukada, \u201cSaint Omer\u201d by Alice Diop, \u201cOur Ties\u201d by Roschdy Zem all put aspects of family life at the heart of their dramas, as does \u201cL\u2019Immensita\u201d by Emanuele Crialese, which stars the winner of last year\u2019s best actress award, Cruz.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most anticipated films is Andrew Dominik\u2019s \u201cBlonde\u201d which features Cuban-born actress de Armas in an emotional re-telling of how an unwanted child became the most sought-after and troubled star of her age \u2014 Marilyn Monroe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBlonde\u201d is one of four Netflix films up for the prestigious Golden Lion prize \u2014 a testament to the streaming company\u2019s movie ambitions even as it struggles to maintain subscribers.<\/p>\n<p>While much attention is focused on the main prize, a handful of movies shown out-of-competition could steal the limelight, including steamy thriller \u201cDon\u2019t Worry Darling\u201d, directed by Olivia Wilde and starring Pugh and Styles.<\/p>\n<p>An apparent fallout between Wilde and Pugh, and Internet gossip over relations between Wilde and Styles has only fuelled interest in the film, which premiers on Sept. 5.<\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Crispian Balmer; Editing by Alexandra Hudson)<\/p>\n<p><a
