“The Card Counter” premieres at the Venice International Film Festival.
The Venice International Film Festival is the world’s oldest and arguably most prestigious film festival, but it’s time to shake things up. It needs a new name, something like, I don’t know I’m just spitballing here, the Oscar Isaac International Film Festival. The Inside Llewyn Davis actor has three, count ’em three, projects that will premiere at the festival this September: Denis Villeneuve’s Dune, where he plays Spice Daddy; Scenes from a Marriage, his HBO limited series with A Most Violent Year co-star Jessica Chastain; and The Card Counter.
