Courtesy of Enrico De Luigi “Dio Ride,” written and directed by Giovanni Veronesi, will close the 83rd Venice Intl. Film Festival, which runs Sept. 2-12. The film will play in the out-of-competition section.
“Dio Ride” stars Pierfrancesco Favino, Silvio Orlando, Alma Noce, Francesco Gheghi, Maurizio Lombardi, Paolo Rossi and Carlo Cecchi. The film, whose English title is “God Laughs,” follows a friar in 17th-century Tuscany who manages to speak about God while making people laugh. However, his light-hearted approach provokes the hostility of the church.
