  • Story Text: Italian director Luca Guadagnino's "A Bigger Splash", in which Tilda Swinton stars along with Ralph Fiennes, Matthias Schoenarts and Dakota Johnson, received its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival on Sunday (September 6).
    Guadagnino was joined by his four stars on the red carpet for the Venice premiere. The actors took their time to sign autographs and pose for photos with the large number of fans gathered along the red carpet.
    "A Bigger Splash" is a remake of the 1969 French film "La Piscine" (The Swimming Pool), in which a vicious love quartet was played out on the Cote d'Azur, with the action transferred to the Italian Mediterranean island of Pantelleria.
    The setting is a cue for Fiennes's character Harry, a record producer, to unleash his inner satyr.
    He flies unannounced into Pantelleria with his daughter Penelope (Dakota Johnson) and barges in on his rock-star ex-girlfriend Marianne (Swinton) and her filmmaker lover Paul (Matthias Schoenaerts).
    The film is among 21 competing for the Golden Lion prize to be awarded on Saturday (September 12).
