A lineup of major feature films is premiering on Tuesday at the Venice Film Festival, highlighted by Alex Gibney’s documentary on Elon Musk, a psychological thriller starring Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem, and a new drama directed by Casey Affleck.
Running for nearly four hours with an intermission, Musk examines the world’s wealthiest individual, probing the extent of his authority and global reach. Gibney, the Oscar-winning documentarian behind investigations into Scientology, Enron and Elizabeth Holmes, told The Associated Press he initially admired his subject and sought an interview with him.
