I couldn’t be more excited."<\/p>\n
Alberto Barbera, the director of the Venice Festival, praised Payne’s passion for cinema, saying, "Alexander Payne is part of the small circle of filmmakers – Cinephiles, whose passion for the cinema is heated up by the knowledge of the films of the past and curiosity about contemporary cinema without limits or barriers of all kinds.
