VENICE, Italy — The movie business: What’s love got to do with it? For director Drake Doremus, everything.

The American filmmaker behind troubled-love stories “Like Crazy” and “Breathe In” is back with “Equals,” a science-fiction romance that puts Kristen Stewart and Nicholas Hoult into a future society where emotions — messy, disruptive things — have been genetically suppressed for the good of humanity.
