Actress Julia Roberts denies her new movie sets back feminist cause

VENICE -

Directed by Italy's Luca Guadagnino and also starring Ayo Edebiri and Andrew Garfield, the movie premiered on Aug 29 at the Venice Film Festival, bringing Roberts to the Lido's famed red carpet for the first time in her career.

Roberts plays Alma Olsson, a Yale philosophy professor whose life is upended when her long-time friend and colleague (Garfield) is accused by one of her favorite students (Edebiri) of sexual assault.

The drama probes how supposedly liberal academics wrestle with questions of loyalty, power and identity when confronted with generational fault lines.
