Luca Guadagnino has fast become a legend of the Lido thanks to his prolific output, and he’s back at Venice this evening with After The Hunt .

The film follows a college professor ( Julia Roberts ) who finds herself at a personal and professional crossroads when a star pupil (Ayo Edebiri) levels an accusation against one of her colleagues (Andrew Garfield), and a dark secret from her own past threatens to come to light. Guadagnino regular Michael Stuhlbarg and Chloë Sevigny also star along with Lío Mehiel, Thaddea Graham , Will Price, Christine Dye, and Burgess Byrd.

Roberts , Edebiri, and Garfield were all present at this morning’s press conference in Venice alongside Guadagnino. The press conference was robust, with several questions about the film’s politics and philosophy.
