Journalists questioned if the film challenges feminist ideals during a Venice Film Festival press event featuring director Luca Guadagnino and lead actress Julia Roberts.

  • This past week at the Venice Film Festival, journalists asked whether Luca Guadagnino's After the Hunt undermines the feminist movement, surprising the cast and filmmakers.

  • Julia Roberts recalled being stunned by a scene she barely remembered, while Andrew Garfield said Luca Guadagnino wants urgency and actors aren't obliged to express public views.
  • On Oct. 10 the film opens in New York and L.A., before expanding Oct. 17, following a Los Angeles screening that drew exclusive interviews and coverage.
  • Guadagnino celebrated Roberts' stature, praising her as 'one of the greatest stars' while costars lauded Andrew Garfield and Ayo Edebiri, whose Golden Globes homage to Roberts amplified the film's spotlight.
