Penelope Cruz is in what may develop into the buzziest film at Venice this 12 months. In Bunker, she and Javier Bardem play a pair whose marriage is examined when he agrees to construct a survivalist’s hidey-hole. The movie acquired a 15-and-a-half minute standing ovation, the second-longest in Venice historical past, which reportedly introduced her to tears. I’m certain this was from pleasure, but additionally, think about having to face in entrance of a crowd for quarter-hour whereas they watch you react to their countless applause, after which everybody within the movie will get referred to as ahead for extra applause. At a sure level, what do you even do with your self? Clap alongside, should you really feel like a room with out a roof? And aren’t all these individuals within the room SO TIRED of smacking their fingers collectively? Is it an endurance contest at this level? I’m going to begin the Famous Crank Annual Movie Competition and we are going to particularly BAN ovations and maybe all clapping, and even acknowledgments that anybody related to the film is there. No sucking up; simply sucking down sodas.
