Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Bradley Cooper was 'extremely happy' with response to Maestro
Caption: In an interview with Deadline on Sunday, Venice Film Festival chief Alberto Barbera revealed that he exchanged "some texts" with Cooper after his second directorial effort, a biopic about composer-conductor Leonard Bernstein, had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival on Friday. "He was extremely happy. He didn't know about the reaction. He told me that he doesn't read any reviews at all, not even the good ones. He doesn't want anything to interfere with his process of finding and telling other stories." Venice Film Festival chief Alberto Barbera / Deadline Hollywood. Cooper, who directed, co-wrote, produced and stars in the movie, did not attend the premiere due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike and neither did his co-stars Carey Mulligan, Matt Bomer or Sarah Silverman, among others. The film was represented at the festival by Bernstein's children Jamie, Alexander and Nina, who mimicked their father's conducting style as the credits rolled and the audience gave a standing ovation for seven minutes, reports Variety.
