Andrea Pallaoro’s Golden Lion contender The Echo Chamber, starring Alicia Vikander, Luca Marinelli and Susan Sarandon, earned a eight-minute ovation as it world premiered at the Venice Film Festival on Sunday evening.
The film is based on Bernardo Bertolucci’s final screenplay which he was fine-tuning prior to his death in Rome in 2018.
Marinelli stars as a talented music producer with a history of drug addiction, opposite Vikander as a seemingly gentle-hearted physiotherapist who comes to his rescue and Sarandon as a storied singing star who hires him to work on her comeback album.
