Day 6 of TIFF
I’ve seen two films at the festival so far: Children of Sarajevo on Friday, and Amour on Saturday. Amour was hands-down the better of the two. It was beautifully made, and unbelievably sad. I don’t know if I ever want to see it again, but I’m so glad that I got the opportunity to see it at the festival. Michael Haneke was there to speak about the film and answer a few questions after the screening which was unexpected and awesome. This is the first film of his that I’ve seen and I’ll definitely be adding his other films to my long, long list.
Now for today. First up is Lore at 4:30, and after that is The Iceman at 10pm. I’m extremely excited for both. I’m purposely not reading reviews of any of the films I’m going to see before I see them so that I’m not influenced by anyone else’s opinion. I’m going solely on the strength of the capsules written by the festival’s programmers.
Comments to follow.
Lore (2012) Dir. Cate Shortland. Australia/UK/Germany
The Iceman (2012) Dir. Ariel Vromen. USA
Spotted on Bloor St W. Despite the massive disappointment that still hung in the air following my failed attempt to get into the TIFF premiere of ‘The Master’, I still found this hilarious.
Beasts of the Southern Wild.
See it immediately. I promise you won’t regret it.
