In Jay Kelly, George Clooney plays a film star on a self-reflective journey through Europe.

The film, which is premiering on Thursday night at the Venice Film Festival, explores questions about finding oneself while also poking fun at the business of being a major celebrity in the world and all the people on their payroll around them.
