Mick Jagger and Donald Sutherland drama to close Venice Film Festival

The Burnt Orange Heresy, a crime drama starring Mick Jagger and Donald Sutherland, will close this year’s (19) Venice Film Festival.
The movie, directed by Italian filmmaker Giuseppe Capotondi, stars Jagger as a wealthy art collector who commissions a couple, played by Claes Bang and Elizabeth Debicki, to steal a work by a reclusive painter (Sutherland).
It will screen out of competition at the Italian movie event on 7 September (19) in the Sala Grande of the Palazzo del Cinema at the Lido di Venezia, straight after an awards ceremony celebrating movies shown in competition.
The erotic neo-noir drama is an adaptation of Charles Willeford’s 1971 novel, and is a rare acting role for the 75-year-old since an uncredited part in 2008’s The Bank Job.
The film was shot around Lake Como, Italy late last year, before the Rolling Stones rocker was sidelined by a heart problem in April that forced him to delay the band’s U.S. leg of their No Filter tour.
Japanese filmmaker Hirokazu Kore-eda’s latest movie The Truth, which stars Catherine Deneuve and Juliette Binoche, will open the 76th Venice International Film Festival on 28 August.
