Kore-eda Hirokazu’s “The Truth,” a drama starring Catherine Deneuve as (what else?) a beloved star of French cinema, will open the Venice Film Festival next month, festival organizers announced Thursday.
The award-winning Japanese director’s film, the first he has made outside his native country, also stars Juliette Binoche and Ethan Hawke.
The film, which will play in competition, follows Deneuve as a French film star with many male admirers who causes a family rift when she publishes her memoir. Her daughter (Binoche) returns from New York to Paris with her husband (Hawke) and young child, a reunion that turns to confrontation: Truths will be told, accounts settled, loves and resentments confessed.

Palme d’Or-winning director Hirokazu Kore-eda’s hotly anticipated new film, “The Truth,” starring Catherine Deneuve, Juliette Binoche and Ethan Hawke, will open the 76th edition of the Venice Film Festival.
“The Truth,” which marks the director’s first work set outside his native Japan, will screen on the Lido on Aug. 28 in competition. Kore-eda won the Palme d’Or at Cannes in 2018 with “Shoplifters.”
It’s the first time since 2012 that Venice artistic director Alberto Barbera has not chosen a Hollywood film as the festival’s opening film. The past three openers have been “First Man,” “Downsizing” and “La La Land.”
In “The Truth” (French title “La vérité”), Deneuve plays movie star Fabienne, who “reigns amongst men who love and admire her.” When she publishes her memoirs, her daughter Lumir (Juliette Binoche) returns from New York to Paris with her husband (Ethan Hawke) and their young child. “The reunion...

IFC Films has acquired North American rights to “The Truth,” Hirokazu Kore-eda’s follow-up to his Oscar-nominated and Palme d’Or-winning “Shoplifters,” Variety has learned.
