☆ 1 night only. Free.
You'll thank us when she accepts her first #Oscar: @GoetheToronto FILM TALK:
Award-winning actress Paula Beer (TRANSIT; NEVER LOOK AWAY; FRANTZ) in conversation w/ film critic Adam Nayman.
☆ How does the old adage go, “If you want something done, ask a busy person“: Good bunch of colleagues, publicists, producers not answering emails pre-festivals.
But count on Werner #Herzog to always reply in person within 12hrs.
☆ Just saw the Herzog at #TIFF18 & can’t wait to see how Leipzig is going to receive his Gorbachev portrayal.
☆ #TIFF18 joke of the day: Paula Beer on Christian Petzold: "He has this fan club around him...". Adam Nayman raises hand: "President!"
☆ Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck: 6’9”. Me: 5’6” (with heels) #TIFF18 #Oscars19 #NeverLookAway #GoetheFilmBrunch
☆ To add to that list: Henckel von Donnersmarck’s NEVER LOOK AWAY, loosely based on Gerhard Richter’s early life >
@AGOeventsteam: Love art? Love film? Can't decide between the two? Now you don't have to. @agotoronto presents the art-lovers guide to @TIFF_NET.
☆ When you really didn’t want to see a film (because of its gruesome subject matter), but then it’s so good and you want other people to see it: #TIFF18 #review #TheMostBeautifulCouple
☆ Wonder where you remember Spanish actress Laia Costa from, now in LIFE ITSELF, Dan Fogelman’s #TIFF18 Gala? She was the #Berlin tourist girl-turned-robber in VICTORIA at #TIFF three years ago:
☆ Do you ever get a feeling you’ve seen a different film than (nearly) everyone else in the cinema? Or just seen it differently.
☆ How are EVERYBODY KNOWS (telenovela) & SHOPLIFTERS (perfect) even allowed to play alongside each other in a festival? #Cannes #TIFF18
☆ HOTEL MUMBAI: Terrible beauty of a film, glad I stayed after kicking the flight instinct. And Volker Berltelmann’s score makes it possible to stay and think.
☆ Programmatic (& auspiciously Canadian) start to my #TIFF18 : Denys Arcand’s The Fall of the American Empire. #NAFTAwatch
☆ Reading #TIFF18 catalogue: “Reygadas's latest Our Time is his most personal and courageous to date, casting himself and his wife (Natalia López) in the lead roles as he explores a married couple's relationship in crisis.” … Remake of BY THE SEA? Didn’t end well for #Brangelina.
☠ #TIFF18 joke of the day: programmer-announcer “Unfortunately, the filmmaker is no longer with us.” (audience gasps) “Nono, it’s not that she’s DEAD or anything...”
♕ Top 5 films of #TIFF18:
Shoplifters. Roma. Gloria Bell. Rojo. If Beale Street Could Talk. All with stellar female leads (& a special mention to Laura Dern & Patricia Clarkson in okay films). Will have to catch Burning and Capernaum later.
