I feel like all the pieces are in the right place after announcements from New York (FIRST!) and Toronto, with the Telluride schedule showing itself more clearly than ever because of TIFF’s new rules about opening weekend and North American premieres. I hate the idea of this all being a competition between the festivals. All three are so distinct. They each have a purpose. And for me, the more above board everyone is, the better.

And is it ever a read: a full-on frothing expose of a treacherous conspiracy that goes all the way to the top of TIFF.”

“It was one of the strangest and most interesting and puzzling interviews I’ve ever done. I often think my job description is that I’m required to try to capture something of the complexity of the individual I am talking to and the complexity of the world that they were dealing with.” Errol Morris In Snowflake…

The last four or five days might feel more relaxed with programming conflicts, but that’s when most industry guests have already left town. No publication I’ve encountered has the resources to do proper reviews of all those films, or even just all the world premieres.”

Glazer’s decision to light the film with heavy chiaroscuro makes getting lost in the ambiguity sexy and mysterious, and it’s rare that you see the fullness of a character’s face. There is almost always something obscuring the skin or hiding the face of both prey and predator, which makes the shadows and confusion a bewitching result.
