00:00It's the sixth day of the Venice Film Festival.
00:03Yesterday, the Lido was literally overwhelmed by the energy and charm of Brad Pitt and George Clooney,
00:08who gave life to a real show on the red carpet,
00:12giving generously to the fans who had besieged the road next to the red carpet since the early hours of the morning,
00:19challenging the heat and the heat wave.
00:21Closing the chapter of the two Hollywood stars, today there are two films in competition.
00:27The first Italian film, Vermilio by Mauro Del Pero with Tommaso Ragno.
00:30Set in the last year of the Second World War, the film tells the story of a family
00:36that paradoxically loses peace just when the world finds its own.
00:41Another film in competition, The Room Next Door by Pedro Almodovar.
00:46First English film by the Spanish director, starring two out-of-class actors,
00:52Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore.
00:55In the hands of two old friends who meet again for an unexpected event.
01:01And here, behind me, there will be this morning the first screening of Almodovar's film.
01:08Out of competition, it will be presented by Claude Lelouch,
01:12who will receive the Cartier Glory to the Filmmaker Award for the originality of his film career.
01:19Another award, the Golden Lion to the career, for Peter Weir,
01:22director of masterpieces such as Truman Show and Master and Commander.
