Ralph Fiennes made a big splash during the Venice Film Festival photocall for his latest film, _A Bigger Splash_, by spontaneously dancing a little jig for the cameras. _A Bigger Splash_, directed by Luca Guadagnino, is a psychological drama starring Tilda Swinton, Dakota Johnson, and Matthias Schoenaerts. Thankfully, this photo opp was anything but dramatic, as evidenced by Fiennes and his dance moves. > [](https://twitter.com/la%5FBiennale/status/640544276561141760) In the film, Fiennes portrays a record producer and the ex-lover of a rock legend (Swinton). When he arrives on the volcanic island of Pantelleria with his daughter (Johnson), he spoils his ex’s holiday vacation with her current partner (Schoenaerts). Fox Searchlight will release _A Bigger Splash_ in theaters on May 13, 2016.
