The film highlights the danger to which humanity is exposed to new epidemics. Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Winslet star in the tape. Soderbergh, winner of an Oscar for Traffic, has presented Contagion out of competition at the Venice Film Festival. American filmmaker Steven Soderbergh presented his latest film, Contagion, which addresses, in an apocalyptic manner, the rapid spread of a deadly virus and hitherto unknown out of competition in 68 international Venice Film Festival. The tape, which took a discreet reception this Saturday by the press of the Mostra, has an outstanding cast of actors, including Matt Damon, Jude Law, Kate Winslet and Marion Cotillard, Gwyneth Paltrow, very important part of this plot in which, sometimes, it is difficult to distinguish the thin line that separates fact from fiction. Contagion, story written by Scott Z.
Burns, highlights the danger to which humanity is exposed at the emergence of a new epidemic, especially in times where carriers make that a virus can spread from Hong Kong to U.S. in a matter of hours through a plane. The film is the initial result of a debate with Scott. Our impression was that all the scientific part on the film should be extremely careful. All scenes in which spoke of virus must be realistic. If it were not so, not we would have been able to contribute to this kind of genre, Soderbergh said during the press conference of presentation. The story is framed within a globalised contemporary society which has already had to deal with alarms about global epidemics and in that sense, plans to during the nearly two-hour film example of influenza A, a real case that can bring bad memories to the public you are going to see the film. That allusion to recent epidemics, among which a flu is avian on that global authorities are already warning of a possible return to large-scale, make the Soderbergh film finish looking at all less fiction and launching a message of concern to the population.
