I regret to inform
anybody interested in today’s films that I played hooky. I had several other
obligations – interviews with Gus Van Sant, Diane Keaton and the cast of Elephant,
and also a 1-on-1 with Christine Jeffs, the director of Sylvia. Both
features will be online soon so keep your eyes peeled.
Next week will witness the final 3 days of press screenings for the 41st New
York Film Festival. Among the pictures are 2 biggies: Denys Arcand’s The
Barbarian Invasions and Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s 21 Grams, with
Sean Penn, Naomi Watts and Benicio Del Toro.
Also, tune in for the conclusion of Kill the Lights, our silly film noir
serial that’s been accompanying the coverage.
