Olivia Wilde's 'Don't Worry Darling,' starring Harry Styles and Florence Pugh, plays out of competition at the Venice Film Festival, alongside Paul Schrader's 'Master Gardener,' the late Kim Ki-duk's 'Call of God' and Ti West's 'Pearl.'

Elsewhere, Florian Zeller’s “The Son,” from Sony, which segues from the director’s Oscar-winning “The Father” and stars Vanessa Kirby, Laura Dern and Hugh Jackman, is also vying for a Golden Lion, as is Wales-set “The Eternal Daughter” starring Tilda Swinton, which is directed by her old friend, “The Souvenir” helmer Joanna Hogg.
Hollywood titles bowing in Venice’s out-of-competition section comprise steamy psychological thriller “Don’t Worry Darling” which is Olivia Wilde’s second directorial effort and stars Florence Pugh and Harry Styles, from Warner Bros. Wilde, who also stars in “Don’t Worry,” will be on the Lido with co-stars Gemma Chan and Chris Pine , while the presence of Styles and Pugh is uncertain.
“Living,” a re-imagining of Akira Kurosawa’s classic meaning-of-life story, directed by Oliver Hermanus and written by Nobel Prize-winning author Kazuo Ishiguro, who is a Venice juror, is the only film in the selection that is not a world premiere, said Barbera, who noted that it bowed at virtual Sundance in January. Adapted from Kurosawa’s 1952 film “Ikiru,” the tale takes place in 1950s Great Britain and follows a veteran civil servant portrayed by Nighy.
Back to the competition, similar to Cannes, Iran has a strong Lido presence with four films across the selection. Among them is a new film from recently re-incarcerated auteur Jafar Panahi, whose drama “No Bears” reportedly interweaves two parallel love stories both thwarted by obstacles that reflect life in Iran these days. Also screening is “Beyond The Wall” by Vahid Jalilvand whose “No Date, No Signature” was in Venice Horizons in 2017.
