Reynolds, Teco Celio, Marina Strakhova, Michelle Shapa, Danylo Kotov and Davide Gagliardi.

Before the film’s premiere ‘The Palace’ set designer Tonino Zera received Venice’s Campari Passion for Film prize from artistic director Alberto Barbera, as per Variety.

Polanski has a history at Venice, having premiered his film ‘Carnage,’ which starred Kate Winslet and Jodie Foster, at the festival in 2011, as well as 2019’s ‘An Officer and a Spy,’ reported Variety.
