The Echo Chamber is a sombre, intimate love story following a drug-addicted music producer Leo (played by Luca Marinelli), and an enigmatic physiotherapist, Anne (played by Alicia).
Their codependent relationship circles through intense attachment, care, control and separation.
Directed by Andrea Pallaoro, the film serves as a highly anticipated Golden Lion contender and is adapted from the final screenplay penned by legendary Italian film-maker Bernardo Bertolucci before his death.
Alicia was joined on the red carpet by her co-stars Luca Marinelli, Susan Sarandon and director Andrea.
Susan, 79, displayed her incredibly youthful looks in a simplistic strapless black gown and opted for a swipe of red lipstick.

Should celebrity parents balance their careers differently to prioritize family life?
Despite having a settled home base, Alicia and Michael lead hectic lives, with Alicia joking they have become ‘nomads’ as they move between homes in four different countries for work.
The couple typically take turns staying at home with their sons while the other is away filming.
Speaking to The Independent, Alicia said: ‘We’ve been in Lisbon; we’ve been in London a lot, and we spend a lot of time in Italy and France. We’re nomads. That’s the hard part with work, we can’t plan far ahead.’
Alicia shared a rare insight into co-parenting with her husband and opened up about her battles with ‘mum guilt’.
The actress made the rare comments during a stylish shoot for British Vogue ahead of her West End debut last year.
While Alicia admitted both her and her husband’s schedules can be gruelling, she said they make sure never to work at the same time in order for one parent to always be at home with the kids.
‘It can be very long days, and a lot of the time you will leave before the kids get up and then maybe not be back before they sleep. So knowing that one parent is always home. With all the parent and mum guilt that you already carry with you constantly – I am battling that a lot, all the time.’
She also spoke about life in Lisbon following the family’s move to Portugal: ‘My husband said he wanted to surf every day. We’re on the beach with the kids every weekend we are there.’
