As Europe swings to the right and alt-right parties gain consensus and legitimacy in Italy as elsewhere, a number of new books are coming out about the anti-Jewish laws promoted by dictator Benito Mussolini during the Fascist period. Giorgio Treves’ timely, straight-talking documentary 1938 Different (1938 Diversi) may have nothing new to add to the historical record, but it portrays the mindless war-mongering and persecution of that period with clarity and conviction. Mixing newsreels with a touch of animation and the moving words of survivors, Treves dispels the notion that Fascism was somehow gentler or more human than Nazism in ...

The Venice Film Festival is celebrating its 75th year in 2018 with a star-studded lineup that includes world premieres from Damien Chazelle, Bradley Cooper, Luca Guadagnino, and Alfonso Cuarón. The festival takes place August 29 to September 8 and marks the official kickoff of the 2018 fall awards season.
As has been previously announced, Damien Chazelle will open the festival with the world premiere of “First Man.” The space race drama stars Chazelle’s “La La Land” Oscar nominee Ryan Gosling as Neil Armstrong and recounts the Apollo 11 mission to the moon. The world premiere will be Chazelle’s second Venice opener after “La La Land.” Also confirmed prior to the announcement lineup was Bradley Cooper’s “A Star Is Born,” which marks the actor’s directorial debut.
