The festival marks the start of the fall awards season and many films that were pushed back use the event to gain buzz prior to their world premieres. These films are getting major attention at the Venice Film Festival.
Dune
Denis Villeneuve’s highly anticipated Dune has drawn lots of attention and much of it has to do with the all-star cast which includes Timothée Chalamet, Oscar Isaac, Rebecca Ferguson, Zendaya, Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem, and Dave Bautista, among others. The film received an eight-minute standing ovation. Dune‘s about a young Paul Atreides (Chalamet), scion of the noble House of Atreides, which oversees the barren desert planet Arrakis, known as Dune.
Last Night in Soho
Edgar Weight’s psychological thriller starring The Queen’s Gambit‘s Anya Taylor-Joy, also received a five-minute standing ovation. The film follows Eloise (Thomasin McKenzie) as she travels back in time to the 1960s and meets her idol, a singer named Sandy (Taylor-Joy), but her journey is anything but smooth.
Spencer
Starring Kristen Stewart, Spencer received a three-minute standing ovation. Stewart is expected to receive her first Oscar nomination for the role in which she plays the princess over the course of three days during a Christmas holiday and deals with Diana’s decision to end her marriage to Prince Charles (Jack Farthing).

“Spencer” Poster
The first poster for Spencer is a sight to behold, and it seemingly shows Princess Diana weeping into a lavish ball gown. Her back is turned to the camera and the poster doesn’t reveal her face, but it still manages to perfectly capture the inner turmoil she’s dealing with.
The dress featured in the poster is not a carbon copy of any of the dresses that Princess Diana wore in reality, but it draws clear inspiration from several real gowns—most notably, the “Diaghilev” dress from the 1987 premiere of The Living Daylights.
“Spencer” Trailer
Just like the poster, the trailer for Spencer is a true visual feast, but it only offers snippets of seemingly perfect royal life instead of revealing major plot points. The film will take place during the Christmas holidays at the Sandringham estate in Norfolk when Princess Diana decided it’s time to end her marriage to Prince Charles. It’s set to premiere at the Venice International Film Festival before opening in theaters on November 5th.
