If the film of Luca Guadagnino who sees her protagonist makes you discuss, just as the director wanted, Julia Roberts puts everyone in agreement. At his debut at the 2025 Venice Film Festival, the actress captured the attention of photographers, fans and professionals since his arrival at Lido, two days ago. And now, on the red carpet, he confirms what everyone expected: Hollywood’s most beautiful smile also conquers the Festival. Good first.

Roberts plays Alma, a Yale professor forced to confront the accusations of harassment that overwhelm a colleague (Andrew Garfield), an indecipherable student (Ayo Edibiri) and a wedding (with Michael Stuhlbarg) difficult to understand from the outside. A figure that the director has at the same time defined fragile and inflexible: “What I love is that we look at people through their truth”, he explained, “everyone has his own, and It is important to question limits and borders». Not a manifesto of Method, But a way to “open new conversations”.
On the red carpet, however, there is no room for the debates: The Hollywood diva, accustomed to dominating the scenes for over thirty years, has given autographs and selfies fans, entertaining with the cast colleagues (there is also Chloë Sevigny). And the agreement with Guadagnino, consolidated during the processing of the film, has turned into evident complicity in front of the objectives. Moreover, the actress said she was in seventh heaven and completely “bewitched” from Venice: “I did not do much since I arrived,” he admitted, “I’m just working, but just look around me, It’s like being a dream inside. “
Andrew Garfield is also enthusiasticalready known at Lido, who also brought the new partner to the Festival, The actress Monica Barbaro. The two are attending – at least in public – recently, but it is not yet time for Red Carpet as a couple. To the Premiére of After the Hunt The two parade separately. There is time.
