My failure to book a press ticket for Luca Guadagnino’s latest film (Amazon, 10.10) is on me, of course…my tardiness and clumsiness. Plus it’s a tough ticket on its own terms. (The first viewings happen on Thursday, 8.28.)
Maybe I can slip into a screening on a wait-list, down-on-my-knees, last-ditch basis. I don’t know the rules but maybe.
I’ve reserved tickets for pretty much everything else of value between now and 9.4. Reservations for Friday, 9.5 and Saturday, 9.6 haven’t been made available yet.
The bottom line is that being here has made me feel so turned on and electrified and plugged into the here-and-now. Venice is soooo much better than Cannes. I feel blessed and honored to be here.
