The Ink of Murdoch's Legacy: A Drama that Skims the Surface At this year's Venice Film Festival, Danny Boyle's drama "Ink" sparked a 4 minute ovation for its portrayal of Rupert Murdoch's tabloid empire in the late 1960s.
The film's star studded cast, including Jack O'Connell as Larry Lamb and Guy Pearce as Murdoch himself, drew applause from the packed Palazzo del Cinema audience.
The drama aims to humanize Murdoch by depicting him as a figure who brought a "breath of fresh air" to Britain in 1969.
