In the year 2023, it would be almost inconceivable to discover that filmmakers Woody Allen and Roman Polanski are still being celebrated at prominent film festivals. However, to my dismay, I must inform you that both men are receiving prestigious recognition for their latest films, which are scheduled to premiere at the 2023 Venice Film Festival.
According to The Wrap, Allen’s French thriller “Coup de Chance” and Polanski’s black comedy “The Palace” will have their world premieres at this year’s festival. It is worth noting that these directors will be sharing the stage with Wes Anderson’s “The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar” and William Friedkin’s “The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial,” but their inclusion has sparked significant backlash.
In the past, the esteemed festival has showcased works of renowned directors and creatives, but the inclusion of films by two of the most disgraced filmmakers in history is undeniably disheartening. Considering the numerous allegations of sexual abuse surrounding both directors, it is an understatement to say that featuring their movies does not reflect well on the cinema industry.
In fact, one cannot help but wonder why these filmmakers have not been completely shunned from the world of cinema already. Giving them the spotlight hardly seems like the best approach. However, who knows? Maybe Allen can generate significant buzz for “Coup de Chance” by engaging in another captivating Instagram Live session with Alec Baldwin.
