- Lido: Venice70 Film Festival – Gravity – Alfonso Cuaron. Academy
Award winners Sandra Bullock and George Clooney star in “Gravity,” a
heart-pounding thriller that pulls you into the infinite and unforgiving realm
of deep space. The film was directed by Oscar nominee Alfonso Cuaron (“Children
of Men”). Bullock
plays Dr. Ryan Stone, a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle
mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (Clooney). But on a seemingly
routine spacewalk, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone
and Kowalsky completely alone, tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling
out into the blackness. The deafening silence tells them
they have lost any link to Earth...and any chance for rescue. As fear turns to
panic, every gulp of air eats away at what little oxygen is left. But the only way home may be to go
further out into the terrifying expanse of space. “Gravity”
was written by Alfonso Cuaron and Jonas Cuaron, and produced by Alfonso Cuaron
and David Heyman (the “Harry Potter” films.
