Noah Baumbach and Adam Driver’s fifth collaboration together, “White Noise,” Along with everything else Driver has in the works, “White Noise” marks a new milestone for the two-time Oscar nominee, with the first Netflix film to ever debut Opening Night at Venice last night. The film screened at the Sala Grande at the Palazzo del Cinema (Lido di Venezia). “It is a great honor to open the 79th Venice Film Festival with ‘White Noise,'” festival chief Alberto Barbera said. “It was worth waiting for the certainty that the film was finished to have the pleasure to make this announcement. Adapted from the great Don DeLillo novel, Baumbach has made an original, ambitious and compelling piece of art which plays with measure on multiple registers: dramatic, ironic, satirical. The result is a film that examines our obsessions, doubts, and fears as captured in the 1980s, yet with very clear references to contemporary reality.” Baumbach added, “It is a truly wonderful thing to return to the Venice Film Festival, and an incredible honor to have ‘White Noise’ play as the opening night film. This is a place that loves cinema so much, and it’s a thrill and a privilege to join the amazing films and filmmakers that have premiered here.” 📌Adam Driver, director Noah Baumbach, Don Cheadle, Greta Gerwig, and Jodie Turner-Smith walked the red carpet for the premiere. @whitenoisefilm @netflix #AdamDriver #GretaGerwig #NoahBaumbach #VeniceFilmFestival #Film #Netflix 📷 @aleksander_kalka @labiennale
