VOGUE UK: Last month’s Cannes may have had its fair share of Oscar hopefuls – The French Dispatch, Annette, Red Rocket – but it’s got nothing on the Venice Film Festival. The 78th edition of the star-studded showcase, scheduled to run from 1 to 11 September, will feature some of the year’s most eagerly-anticipated releases: family sagas, hair-raising slashers and full-blown historical epics which are due to dominate discussion from now until 2022’s awards season. As opening night approaches, we pick films to add to your watchlist.
