Looking forward to your reaction of the latest from Denis!
If you see "My Son, My Son," watch for me! I'd be in the scene where "The Oresteia" is being performed, several people to the left of Michael Shannon.
Hope you're enjoying the festival! I so badly wish I was there...

So you weren't a fan of Hotel Atlantico. I haven't seen it myself but I know my film prof from last year enjoyed it. I'll be waiting for your notes!
Too bad we don't have any screenings together. Navi also wanted to see at least one film with you.
So jealous you've seen The White Ribbon. I Am Love is insane.
Enjoy :-P
"J'ai tue ma mere (Xavier Dolan): C"
Hm, how very curious--and disappointing. Nonetheless, I'm ecstatic to see that you are keeping us informed of your TIFF journeys. I'll be seeing Antichrist (complete with Lars von Trier press conference via satellite!), The White Ribbon, White Material and Police, Adjective at the NYFF over the next week or so.
So, An Education sucks? I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.
I want to hear more about that grade for An Education, too, though it works perfectly for me that you haven't posted it before I get a chance to see the movie. Curious about your response to Police, Adjective, too, which I'm seeing on Tuesday. And about Eyes Wide Open, which I'm worried I'm going to have to miss...
