The 80th Venice Film Festival showcases not just cinematic brilliance but also the ongoing personal sagas of its star attendees, including the 'Wolfs' star and the 'Maria' actress.

AceShowbiz - Angelina Jolie kickstarted Oscar buzz at the Venice Film Festival with an emotional eight-minute standing ovation after the premiere of her biopic "Maria", about opera singer Maria Callas. Jolie highlighted her connection to Callas's fragility and emotional openness. Three days later, her ex-husband Brad Pitt made headlines by attending the festival with his new girlfriend Ines de Ramon for the premiere of his thriller "Wolfs". The couple's joint appearance came after they shared a dinner with George Clooney and his wife, Amal, exhibiting a harmonious presence despite their ongoing divorce proceedings.

Behind the scenes, the exes have endured a contentious legal battle over finances and custody of their six children. A separate dispute over Chateau Miraval, their French winery, has further fueled the public's fascination with their relationship. Despite Pitt's claims that Jolie intentionally harmed him by selling her share in the wine company, sources close to the couple indicate contrasting emotions, with Pitt not rooting against Jolie and Jolie finding the situation "incredibly sad."

Festival organizers strategically scheduled Pitt and Jolie's events to prevent any confrontations. However, insiders find it "shocking" that the former couple has been unable to finalize their divorce. The focus remains on their children and the desire to resolve the matrimonial issues while the Miraval case progresses. With both Jolie and Pitt showcasing compelling new films, the Venice Film Festival has set the stage for a dramatic fall season in the film industry.
