'I am very happy that the 82nd Venice International Film Festival will open with the new and highly anticipated film by Paolo Sorrentino,' said fest director Alberto Barbera.
'I like to recall that one of the most important and internationally acclaimed Italian auteurs made his debut right here at the Biennale di Venezia in 2001 with his first film, One Man Up, in my early years as the artistic director.'
He continued: 'The relationship with the Venice Film Festival became consolidated over the years with the presentation out of competition of the first episodes in the series The Young Pope (seasons one and two) and, above all, with The Hand of God which, in 2021, won the Silver Lion-Grand Jury Prize.'
'Paolo Sorrentino's return in competition comes with a film destined to leave its mark for its great originality and powerful relevance to the present time,' he added, 'which the audiences of the Venice Film Festival will have the pleasure of discovering on opening night.'
La Grazia, written and directed by Sorrentino, is a Fremantle film produced by The Apartment, a Fremantle Company, by Numero 10 and by PiperFilm that will distribute it in Italy.
MUBI owns worldwide rights excluding Italy. The Match Factory is handling international sales.

Y&R Twist: Holden's Loyalty Is Tested — Will Claire Be the One to Pay the Price?
Cane Ashby left his guests hanging at the French Riviera. He jetted off to Genoa City on The Young and the Restless, and he had to make some business deals behind their backs. During his time there, he met up with Holden, who had been hanging around and wondering when his lucky break was going to happen. But this could spell trouble for Claire. Holden (Nathan Owens) had planned to go back to Los Angeles. However, he stayed in Genoa City to keep an eye on Audra (Zuleyka Silver). She hasn't warmed up to his good looks and charms. Instead, she's been focused on her relationship with Nate (Sean Dominic). But now, her new interest is in Kyle (Michael Mealor). READ THIS: Why a Claire and Holden romance should happen on Y&R. Holden did strike up a friendship with Claire (Hayley Erin). They've already shared many good drinks and interesting conversations. Holden even helped Claire overcome her panic attack with some breathwork and more drinks. Since Kyle and Audra are out of town, Holden has even more time on his hands. His luck could change. On the Tuesday, July 1 episode of Y&R, Holden met Cane (Billy Flynn) in the flesh. He was surprised to learn that Cane left his guests behind and headed back to GC. But Cane needs to set up his life there again. He also has an interest in the businesses over there. Cane offered Holden a new opportunity. Of course, as with any new opportunity in Genoa City, it comes with strings attached. Cane wants Holden to get more information about Adam (Mark Grossman), Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan), Abby (Melissa Ordway), Mariah (Camryn Grimes), and Claire. This could work financially in Holden's favor, but it won't work for him personally. WATCH THIS: Check out Soap Hub's new podcast, Soap Hub Says here! Holden would ultimately ruin the possibility of a friendship with Claire. She's a smart woman. She could quickly find out what Holden's up to. He can kiss their friendship goodbye if he wants to fraternize with the enemy. In the end, this could affect Claire, especially now that she has close ties to the Newmans. What are your thoughts on Holden's new opportunity? Do you think this will ruin his chances of ever becoming friends (and more) with Claire? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section.

Sydney Sweeney Makes Love Life Decision Amid Tom Brady Rumors
By all accounts, Sydney Sweeney enjoyed herself at the wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez in Naples, Italy over the weekend. Sweeney, 27, who called off her engagement to longtime partner Jonathan Davino earlier this year, was reportedly the center of attention for some of the single men in attendance, including A-list actor Orlando Bloom and NFL legend Tom Brady. The Euphoria star was reportedly spotted chatting and dancing with Brady during the reception Friday night, and she, Bloom and Brady were seen taking a walk together in Venice on Saturday. However, while the internet may have been running wild with thoughts of Sweeney dating one of these leading men, a new report from TMZ says the Anyone but You actress is happily single. "Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … the actress is very much single despite the swirling speculation after she was seen spending time on a stroll through the streets of Venice, Italy with both Bloom and Brady," TMZ wrote. We're told the "Euphoria" star is focused on her career and enjoying life, with romance not being a priority right now." Sweeney and Davino had been in a relationship for several years and were scheduled to get married in May. However, the couple reportedly split in January, and a short time later, officially called off their nuptials. In March, a source told PEOPLE Sweeney was "overwhelmed" by the relationship and "didn't feel right" about marrying Davino. "She's not ready to settle down," the PEOPLE source said. "They only lasted for this long because it was hard for her to break it off. They didn't split because there is no love. They split because she just wants to focus on her career right now." The source added that Sweeney was "right where she wants to be." "Most people would feel overwhelmed by her working schedule this year, but not Syd. She's all about working right now and very excited about all her projects," the source said.
