From visionary filmmaker Luca Guadagnino (Call Me By Your Name, Challengers), AFTER THE HUNT is a gripping psychological drama that probes the complex power dynamics, trust and consent, and far-reaching consequences of silence within the charged world of academia. Julia Roberts stars as a respected college professor whose world is turned upside down when her brilliant and outspoken student (Ayo Edebiri) accuses one of her closest colleagues (Andrew Garfield) of serious misconduct. As the academic community reels from the revelation, the professor is forced to navigate a treacherous landscape of loyalty, morality, and professional ethics. Meanwhile, the turmoil awakens a dark secret from her own past - one she has long buried - that threatens to unravel not only her career but her very sense of self. Tense and emotionally charged, AFTER THE HUNT explores the ripple effects of accusation and denial within a microcosm of power and privilege, posing difficult questions about complicity and courage. This layered drama, rich in nuance and moral ambiguity, will make its highly anticipated world premiere out of competition at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival.
