Wonderfully observant first half gives way to less inspired and plot-driven second half. Acting is really great though.

alsolikelife,

again, thanks for your support. I’m waiting for news about NYC, but in the meantime, good news for “Eat, For This Is My Body”, is its coming presentation at Sundance 2008 as well as Rotterdam in Competition. If you or friends are going to either of these events, let me know. It would be fun to meet up! Have the greatest new year you can muster up! 2008 – yes! =)

zetes – the 10 films I saw in 3 days actually beats the 9 films I saw in 4 days last year. What I won’t be getting to as much will be this year’s NYFF – no more than 10 screenings if that, mostly due to being in Italy for the last week of screenings.

Michelange – How wonderful and unexpected to hear from you here. Your film has generally been regarded as the discovery of the festival among my colleagues, and it was a pleasure to attend your world premiere. Please keep me posted on where your NYC premiere will be. Congratulations!

Ryan/Samourai – yes I think you’d have a great time at TIFF. I hung out a bit with spinninginvertigo when I was up there and he seemed to be enjoying himself a good deal.

I think you will like 4/3/2 more than LAZARESCU if only because it has a somewhat more triumphant tone (or at least less bleak) at the end, though the now notorious moment in the bathroom near the end is as liable to turn you off as anything. If anything, it’s an hour shorter than LAZARESCU.

I could have watched SILENT NIGHT with those Wayne Wang films, but I’m a Wayne Wang supporter and I’m not sure when I’d get to see them elsewhere. I’ll catch SILENT NIGHT at NYFF.

Looking forward to the write ups, am quite glad that the London Film Festival will have some of these titles at least.

zetes,
Fret not. I just read on indieWiRE that MY WINNIPEG was picked up by IFC Entertainment, the same folks who gave THE SADDEST MUSIC IN THE WORLD a decent release.

What “style” isn’t an affectation? That’s almost the definition of “style”.

I hope to see Tarr’s effort at the London Film Festival this year, yet at the same time i’m wondering how much his style is an affectation.

I’m almost depressed that Guy Maddin brought yet another new film to Toronto – means I’ll have to wait another two or three years to see it, if it gets a release on DVD at all. We were supposed to get Brand Upon the Brain, but never did. I think the arthouse success Once (which I really liked) pushed half a dozen other films off Landmark’s schedule, including Maddin’s.

One other blogger I’ve been reading walked out of The Princess of Nebraska.

You didn’t get to much this year, did you?
