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 on 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.”
