Alfonso Cuarón, Cate Blanchett bring series ‘Disclaimer’ to Venice Film Festival
Alfonso Cuarón is the first to admit that he does not know how to make a television series
VENICE, Italy (AP) — Alfonso Cuarón is the first to admit that he does not know how to make a television series. He might even be too old to learn how, he said.
The Oscar-winning filmmaker has technically now made a series, the seven-part AppleTV+ show “Disclaimer,” four episodes of which premiered Thursday at the Venice Film Festival. But he did it his way: Like a film.
Based on Renée Knight’s 2015 book of the same name, “Disclaimer” is a psychological thriller about a documentarian and journalist, Catherine Ravenscroft (Cate Blanchett), who discovers she’s a character in a novel that reveals her darkest secret.
Cuarón, Blanchett and Kevin Kline all made the journey to the Italian film festival to debut and speak about the show before it begins streaming on Oct. 11.
