To add a touch of sophistication to his already chic ensemble, the movie icon wore a pair of matching azure aviator sunglasses.

Critics are already buzzing about Phoenix’s performance which could lead to award recognition. The plot follows the story of Arthur Fleck, a man who, after experiencing unfortunate events, becomes a murderous psychopath, wreaking havoc in Gotham. Ad Astra is another movie that benefits from the star power of Hollywood. It features Brad Pitt as an astronaut who travels into space to find his father, portrayed by Tommy Lee Jones.

Netflix’s Venice contenders include ‘The Laundromat’, directed by Steven Soderbergh and starring Meryl Streep, Gary Oldman, and Antonio Banderas, which delves into the infamous Panama Papers scandal. Another Netflix release, ‘Marriage Story’, also competing for the Golden Lion, features Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver and portrays the gruelling journey of a couple’s divorce. Meanwhile, ‘The King’, a Shakespeare adaptation and another Netflix release directed by David Michôd, stars Timothée Chalamet as King Henry V and will be competing out of competition.

Johnny arrived at the film festival looking incredibly handsome to promote his latest movie. However, the festival has faced controversy for including Roman Polanski’s latest work in its lineup. Polanski, who fled the US after being charged with historical sexual abuse, will present his film An Officer And A Spy, which stars Jean Dujardin and centers around the Dreyfuss affair. The jury, led by Lucrecia Martel, includes Piers Handling, Shinya Tsukamoto, and Stacy Martin, who rose to fame in Lars Von Trier’s Nymphomaniac. Notably, last year’s festival received criticism for not having any female-directed films in contention for the Golden Lion award.

The iconic Mick Jagger, who is now 76 years old, will appear on the closing night, playing the lead role in the thriller The Burnt Orange Heresy, which is directed by Giuseppe Capotondi.
