On the red carpet de Ann Lee’s testamentthe presence of Amanda Seyfried captures attention printing and spectators. The film tells the life and spiritual inheritance of Ann Lee, founder of the Shakers, offering a rigorous and delicate look at devotion, independence and strength of personal choices.
The Smashing Machinedocumentary that tells the life of the professional athlete Mark KerrInstead, it brings to the Lido an overwhelming physical energy. Emily Blunt stand out on the red carpet, on pause from the filming of The devil wears Prada 2and Dwayne Johnsonwhich embody the charm of discipline and resilience together with the history of the documentary. The narration of sacrifice, fatigue and border between self -determination and self -destruction gives the Festival a moment of visceral tension, in which the body becomes a metaphor for inner struggle.
The sixth day of the festival, between spiritual introspection and physical adrenaline, thus confirms the vocation of Venice to offer a space in which cinema and life meet, between delicacy of feelings and crudeness of human experience.
