2018 Toronto and New York Film Festivals

okay, the bi gan was fairly fantastic

I would put Petzold's in my top 3 of 10 also. Contemporary world for a WW2 period story worked very well. Actor looks like a younger Joaquin Phoenix right down to the lip scar.

i watched Transit at BAM last week and while it seems like it was created by robots for me to like it, i ended up sort of hating it

"kaurismaki without the jokes" is i think how i described it to dr morbius last night

that is....a very ungenerous description, damn

for any Torontonians who missed La Flor at TIFF, the whole shebang is playing the Lightbox next month along with other films from the same collective

I would probably go see that out of curiosity, but why would they schedule a 13+ hour film on successive weeknights? I'm pretty sure they've historically screened stuff like that on weekends: Out 1, Berlin Alexanderplatz, Lav Diaz, etc. If you're working, forget it (my job, anyway).

I have a 9-5 so it's a pain for sure. I'm gonna check out Extraordinarily Stories for sure.

Seeing La Flor next week friday, saturday, sunday. So excited.

The Gold Bug and Dog Lady are pretty great from that series as well. Hope it might come to Denmark.

I'll try and catch one of those

For anyone seeing La Flor for the first time, I'd advise you reserve judgment until at least well into the second of the five parts - it takes a while to get into what it's going for.

Prestige TV all over again

trust me, there's nothing TV-ish about La Flor beyond the running length

Long Day's Journey into Night is quite somethin'. The "dream" half is more lucid than the "real" one.

Liked the dream, but otherwise I preferred his debut Kaili Blues. Btw, the film that won the Golden Leopard last year, A Land Imagined, is on Netflix now, and it reminded me quite a lot of Long Day's Journey Into Night.

You should be feeding this to the "never coming" thread
