Julia Roberts Debuts at the Venice Film Festival with the #MeToo-Themed 'After the Hunt'
Julia Roberts stars as a professor confronting campus sexual assault accusations in a psychological drama exploring self-censorship and cancel culture, directed by Luca Guadagnino.
- Julia Roberts makes her Venice Film Festival debut Friday as After the Hunt premieres, marking her first red-carpet appearance at the event.
- Director Luca Guadagnino framed the film as exploring cancel-culture tensions and fraught U.S. campus politics, calling self-censorship "upsetting," Guadagnino told the magazine.
- Roberts portrays an academic haunted by a past secret after a colleague is accused of sexual assault, and Guadagnino is a Venice regular with this film playing out of competition.
- As a result the film will not be eligible for awards at Venice, with Venice chief Alberto Barbera noting the studio requested it play out of competition.
- Also on the schedule Friday, South Korean director Park Chan-wook returns to Venice after 20 years with 'No Other Choice', and Tunisian director Kaouther Ben Hania's Gaza film 'The Voice of Hind Rajab' premieres next week.
