by keithsim | created - 22 Aug 2019 | updated - 27 Aug 2019 | Public

Costa Gavras (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002020/), a new Michod (I'm a big fan), and a film about the French New Wave ingenue Jean Seberg (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0781029/) starring the excellent rebel Kristen Stewart, headline another great field, arguably as compelling as the In Competition group. Other Venice sections: In Competition (https://www.imdb.com/list/ls048890799/) , Venice Classics (https://www.imdb.com/list/ls090367437/), Orizzonti (https://www.imdb.com/list/ls090336956/), Best Documentary about Cinema (https://www.imdb.com/list/ls090367465/)
