LOS ANGELES — The 76TH Venice Film Festival is opening with Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda’s “The Truth.”
Festival director Alberto Barbera announced the selection starring Catherine Deneuve, Ethan Hawke and Juliette Binoche in a statement Thursday.
This is the first time in years that Venice has not started with a Hollywood film. Recent openers have included “First Man” and “La La Land.”
“The Truth” features Deneuve as a French movie star who reunites with her daughter and son-in-law after publishing her memoirs. The director said the small family story takes place primarily inside a house.
