Susan Sarandon looked age-defying as she walked the red carpet at the 83rd Venice Film Festival on Sunday night for the premiere of The Echo Chamber. The actress, 79, looked elegant in an off-the-shoulder black gown which was form-fitting on the top before flowing out into an A-line skirt. Putting a cool twist on her outfit, Susan donned a pair of black aviators and accessorised with a gold chain necklace. Susan stars as Ava, a legendary singing star who is planning her career comeback in the romantic drama directed by Andrea Pallaoro and adapted from Bernardo Bertolucci’s final screenplay. The film follows the tumultuous relationship between a compassionate physiotherapist named Anne, played by Alicia Vikander, and a drug-addicted music producer named Leo (Luca Marinelli).

During the festival, Susan revealed that her political beliefs continue to affect her professional life.The actress – who has previously said she’s been blacklisted over pro-Palestinian comments – was asked at the Venice Film Festival if the ‘tides [are] changing’ in showbusiness.She answered in part, ‘In terms of the power structure. I’ve still had movies taken away recently, because there are agencies that are telling people not to hire me still. But that’s the power structure,’ per People.On the other hand, she said, ‘I think that the narrative has completely changed. There’s a lot of things that people are aware of now.’Sarandon said in Italy on Sunday, ‘Certainly internationally, I feel welcome. So it depends. If it’s a major studio, I think there is, not just with me, but with other people… that have been told that that is impossible.’Speaking about The Echo Chamber, she continued: ‘In terms of doing this film, I thank Andrea for that, because he didn’t listen to the warnings.’So I think, yes, there has been a change in terms of understanding of the situation, and I think the general public, but there are still very strongly held positions within my industry held by Zionists and [those] who have not relaxed their feelings towards me. But I found my family, I found my people, and I’m okay.’ Susan posed with Alicia Vikander, who looked glamorous in a blue ruffled gown, on the red carpet Putting a cool twist on her outfit, Susan donned a pair of black aviators and accessorised with a gold chain necklace Susan stars as Ava, a legendary singing star who is planning her career comeback in the romantic drama directed by Andrea Pallaoro Susan and Alicia posed for a photo with director Andrea Pallaoro Alicia, director Andrea, Susan and Luca Marinelli chatted on the red carpet Susan plays a singer in the film Earlier this year, Sarandon spoke out about her alleged blacklisting from the industry over pro-Palestinian remarks she made amid Israel’s ongoing attacks on Gaza.
