Bradley Cooper’s film appears to be about the love story between Leonard Bernstein and his wife (he was gay, of course, but apparently their relationship was deep and loving). Maestro will have its first screening at the Venice Film Fest later this month. Cooper is wearing significant prosthetics and makeup to look like Bernstein.
Looks like it’s also a Best Actress showcase, along with Best Actor for Cooper, possibly Best Picture.
