Giovanni Veronesi’s ‘Dio Ride’ To Close Venice Film Festival
Dio ride, written and directed by Giovanni Veronesi (The King’s Musketeers), will close this year’s Venice Film Festival.
The film will screen out of competition. The synopsis provided by the festival reads: “Set in the mid-1600s and loosely based on true events, the movie resonates strongly with the present time through a story that centers on freedom, the power of the truth, and the relationship between people and power, with its shadows and contradictions. With his profound humanity, the friar Frate Leopoldo will change the lives of the people he encounters.”
