Документальный фильм Алекса Гибни «Musk» дебютировал на Венецианском кинофестивале
Четырехчасовой документальный фильм «Musk» от Алекса Гибни премьеровался на Венецианском кинофестивале, предлагая критический взгляд на Илона Маска и запланирован к кинотеатральному релизу в октябре.
Bleecker Street выпустила тизер к документальному фильму Алекса Гибни Musk, который премьеровался во вторник на Венецианском кинофестивале. Фильм, длительностью чуть менее четырёх часов, представляет смешанный взгляд на Илона Маска, основателя SpaceX, Tesla, Starlink и владельца X. Трейлер juxtaposes praise from supporters with critical commentary from observers, describing Musk as chaotic, capricious and, in one voice, “manifestly cruel and selfish.”
Musk responded to the project on the X platform, calling the director a “douche,” to which Gibney replied with a tongue-in-cheek retort. Gibney, an Oscar-winning documentarian known for works such as Taxi to the Dark Side and Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room, said the film aims to reveal aspects of Musk that are “hiding in plain sight” rather than simply casting him as a hero or villain.
The documentary will continue its festival circuit at the Toronto Film Festival before a theatrical rollout on October 16, followed by a premiere on HBO and HBO Max. It is expected to be a contender for awards season.
“He is a larger-than-life figure. People have their opinions about him, but the challenge is to bring something that people don’t expect to find, something in the material that’s hiding, some stuff that’s hiding in plain sight,” Gibney told Deadline’s Doc Talk podcast.
The film is produced by Jigsaw Productions, which was acquired by philanthropist Wendy Schmidt in 2025.
