Wolfs



Unlike George and Amal, Brad didn't pose with Ines on the red carpet. They posed for photos beside their car when they arrived, and just off the carpet where they were joined by George and Amal. Never on the carpet itself with its banks of photographers on both sides.  Which meant they left Ines on the sidelines while they proceeded to pose on the red carpet.

It reduced the number of photos of them at the premiere but I don't know that that makes a huge difference. Any one will do.

In the video below, George and Amal share a kiss while Ines, sitting beside Amal, stays seated. She is one of the few in the immediate vicinity not participating in the standing ovation -- or even seated ovation. Brad only briefly glances back at Ines, he talks with Amal but not Ines. He reaches back but quickly turns away and has no other interaction with her. It is not til almost the end of the ovation clip that Ines gets up.  

I feel any invited guest would have stood up and joined in the ovation immediately- like Cate Blanchett, who can be seen standing and applauding a few rows back. 

I don't think this is entirely on Ines.  I think they are following a script designed to purposely subvert the narrative.

At the very least, he and Ines have to be friends on some level. What they are really beyond that, is the question. 

Tellingly, photos show him landing back in L.A. accompanied only by his long-time make-up artist, Jean Black.  The line about her in dm is hilarious.

Brad Pitt and George Clooney hugged and danced at the Venice Film Festival on Sunday night as the two megastars’ latest film, “Wolfs,” received a four-minute standing ovation.

The premiere itself was delayed by over 30 minutes as fans crowded into Venice’s Sala Grande in an attempt to catch a glimpse at Pitt and Clooney. When the duo finally arrived inside, the sound — and general vibe — in the theater could only be described as carnal. Both actors took to different sides of the carpet, signing autographs and taking selfies, before being whisked away to their seats by security.
