Mara Sisters Shine Together at Venice Film Fest
3 Sep
Summary
- Siblings Rooney and Kate Mara debuted their first film together.
- The sisters play close siblings who speak in unison.
- Acting together was a unique experience for the Maras.

The 83rd Venice Film Festival saw a special premiere as sisters Rooney and Kate Mara appeared together for their first film collaboration, "Bucking Fastard." The siblings walked the red carpet and posed for photos before joining director Werner Herzog and costar Orlando Bloom.
In the film, the Mara sisters play dual roles as sisters Jean and Joan Holbrooke, who are so interconnected they speak in unison, share the same dreams, and love the same man. This concept initially felt daunting to Rooney Mara.
However, Rooney noted that their shared history and childhood experiences created an effortless connection, making the process fun and a unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience. Kate Mara echoed this sentiment, calling the film beautiful and unusual, and expressing a desire to work together again soon to see each other more frequently amidst their busy lives.
The 83rd Venice International Film Festival is scheduled to run from September 2 to September 12. This event marks a significant milestone for the acting sisters, highlighting their professional collaboration.
