Four major films are set to debut at the Venice Film Festival — Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s Bardo, Noah Baumbach’s White Noise, Andrew Dominik’s Blonde and Todd Field‘s Tar.
The total running time for these four films is 639 minutes, or roughly 10 and 1/2 hours.
That’s not counting walking to the theatre, waiting in line, post- and pre-screening bathroom breaks, etc.
I’m hoping to see all four in Telluride, of course.
According to Jordan Ruimy, Venice Film Festival honcho Alberto Barbera announced this morning that Bardo runs close to 180 minutes. We also know that the running times for White Noise, Tar and Blonde are 136, 158 and 165 minutes respectively.
