But the screenings at this festival don’t always go as well as the team would like, and if they don’t tell the Don’t Worry Darling all the controversy (which has been a lot) that has been mounted, or Brad Pitt in 1999 when he presented what is now considered a cult movie and one of his best works.
The most bizarre projection of Brad Pitt at the Venice Film Festival

I don’t say it, Brad Pitt confessed it in the marc maron podcast during the promotion of once upon a time in hollywoodone of Leonardo DiCaprio’s best movies.
“For some reason, we thought it would be a good idea to smoke a joint before the show,” explains Brad Pitt. Once in the room, they sat next to the director of the festival, Felice Laudadio. The movie begins and “the first joke appears. Absolute silence. And another joke. Also silence. […] The more time passed, the funnier it seemed, so we were the assholes in the background laughing at our own jokes. The only ones,” he explains. Brad Pitt.
For the critics, the humor of this complex film did not finish curdling, but they could not stop laughing. He didn’t like it so much that there was even a point where, in Pitt’s words, “I saw a guy from the festival who had been squirming for the first 30 minutes, just get up and walk away… He doesn’t say a word, he just gets up and walks away. goes.”
And while Brad Pitt and Edward Norton couldn’t stop laughing.
