Fifteen of the scheduled feature films will be eligible for the City of Donostia / San Sebastián People's Choice Award
Don't Worry Darling, the feature film with which the American filmmaker and actress Olivia Wilde will participate out of competition at the Venice Film Festival, will join the Perlak section at the 70th edition of the San Sebastian Festival. With this latest addition, a selection of 17 previously unreleased titles in Spain that have been critically acclaimed and/or awarded at other international festivals is completed.
After debuting as a director with the comedy Booksmart, Wilde (New York, 1984) presents as her second film a bold, complex and visually stunning psychological thriller. Wilde is directing the film from a screenplay written by Kate Silberman and is in the 1950s. Its main character is a woman who begins to suspect that her husband's company is hiding shady secrets.
Wilde also participates as an actress in this film starring Florence Pugh, nominated for an Oscar for Little Women (2019) and Harry Styles (Dunkirk, 2017). The cast also includes Gemma Chan ( Crazy Rich Asians, 2018), Kiki Layne (The Old Guard, 2020) and Chris Pine (All the Old Knives, 2022).
Director, actress, producer and activist Olivia Wilde is a modern-day renaissance woman. From directing feature films to acting on Broadway to starring in popular films and television shows, Wilde continues to elevate her versatile presence while giving back to the community. Her 2019 directorial debut Booksmart became a beloved generational anthem.
She and the film were honored at multiple film festivals, including garnering the audience award at the San Francisco Film Festival, netting personal nominations for Wilde from the Gotham and Critics’ Choice Awards, appearing atop numerous ‘Best Films of 2019’ lists and winning Wilde the Independent Spirit Award for Best First Feature. Wilde was born in 1984 in New York, New York, USA.
The Perlak Section will be made up of another 16 feature films directed by Juan Diego Botto, Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, Alejandro G. Iñárritu, Louis Garrel, Mia Hansen-Løve, Oliver Hermanus, Hirokazu Koreeda, Marie Kreutzer, Isaki Lacuesta, Santiago Mitre, Brett Morgen, Cristian Mungiu, Ruben Östlund, François Ozon, Oriol Paulo and Rodrigo Sorogoyen. Except Moonage Daydream, that will close Perlak, and Los renglones torcidos de Dios, that will be the Special Screening of the Section, the rest of the titles will be eligible for the City of Donostia / San Sebastián People's Choice Award.
Alicek (Pugh) and Jackek (Styles) are lucky to be living in the idealized community of Victory, the experimental company town housing the men who work for the top-secret Victory Project and their families. Life is perfect, with every resident’s needs met by the company. But when cracks in their idyllic life begin to appear, exposing flashes of something much more sinister lurking beneath the attractive façade, Alice can’t help questioning exactly what they’re doing in Victory, and why. Just how much is Alice willing to lose to expose what’s really going on in this paradise?
