First wave of Toronto lineup:

https://www.criterion.com/current/posts/4761-the-daily-toronto-2017-lineup-round-1

I'd forgotten that someone made a Moe Berg movie (Catcher Was a Spy).

And Annette Bening playing Gloria Grahame!

nice to see Melanie Laurent is still directing, her first feature (?) a couple years back was actually pretty interesting

Untitled Bryan Cranston/Kevin Hart Film

threw up a little when I clicked through to see what this was

Caught the Ostlund (pretty good!) and the Lanthimos (pretty meh!) at press screenings this week

― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Tuesday, 29 August 2017 17:20 (eight years ago)

so TIFF begins today...

Got 5 NYFF tix, probably more later. Off the Main Slate just Call Me by Your Name and one of the two Hongs. Two Mitchum oldies and Pandora's Box w/ orchestra.

― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 7 September 2017 14:47 (seven years ago)

I wanted to see CMBYN but it's only playing on TIFF's opening night, which should be avoided at all costs

I have tix for

Caniba
First Reformed
Marlina the Murderer in Four Acts
The Third Murder
The Day After
Death of Stalin
I Love You, Daddy
Florida Project
Zama
Little Girl Who Was Too Fond of Matches

― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Thursday, 7 September 2017 14:51 (seven years ago)

Really wish Death of Stalin was playing NY.

Erstwhile ilxor KJB very amped for Zama.

― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 7 September 2017 14:54 (seven years ago)

Someone I trust very much speaks highly of the Schrader.

― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Thursday, 7 September 2017 14:58 (seven years ago)

Zama was very good. Caniba has ensured that no screen violence will shock me for at least a decade.

― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Tuesday, 12 September 2017 14:35 (seven years ago)

awahds

https://www.criterion.com/current/posts/4936-the-daily-toronto-2017-awards

― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Monday, 18 September 2017 14:36 (seven years ago)

Of what I saw, I'd rank em

Zama
First Reformed
The Square
The Death of Stalin
The Florida Project
I Love You, Daddy
The Day After
Killing of a Sacred Deer
Caniba
Little Girl Who Was Too Fond of Matches

― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Monday, 18 September 2017 14:39 (seven years ago)

I need to be convinced of the pivot the Schrader movie takes in its second half but I can't deny the power of its best moments

― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Monday, 18 September 2017 14:43 (seven years ago)

The Square has gotten its share of grumpy dissents

― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Monday, 18 September 2017 14:44 (seven years ago)

Not surprising. It pretty seriously loses steam near the end (just as Force Majeure did) but I liked it a fair amount. The AK-47 to FM's pistol.

― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Monday, 18 September 2017 14:51 (seven years ago)

(I liked everything on that list above Sacred Deer)

― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Monday, 18 September 2017 14:54 (seven years ago)

wrappin' up (also Venice)

Keith Uhlich has some thoughts on NYFF Week 1 fare

http://www.keithuhlich.com/2017/09/nyff-2017.html

― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 28 September 2017 18:48 (seven years ago)

the Kurosawa sounds dope

I'm glad my admiration for Zama is not un-echoed

― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Thursday, 28 September 2017 18:52 (seven years ago)

yeah too tough for me to make, i'll have to wait for Feb/March release

― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 28 September 2017 19:01 (seven years ago)

(Zama)

― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 28 September 2017 19:02 (seven years ago)

Schrader's film just added

― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Monday, 2 October 2017 21:08 (seven years ago)

Hong Sang-soo showed up in NY! Watching him being interviewed is like spectating at the dentist's office.

― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Monday, 9 October 2017 13:02 (seven years ago)

saw ZAMA 8 days ago and am still thinking about it

― k3vin k., Monday, 9 October 2017 19:04 (seven years ago)

(in a good way!)

― k3vin k., Monday, 9 October 2017 19:04 (seven years ago)

seven months pass...

break it down as easily as possible, can the general public buy tix to tiff screenings? im expecting to be in toronto while the fest is going on so if so i want to plan ahead

― johnny crunch, Monday, 4 June 2018 21:47 (seven years ago)

yes. i did not go as a critic, that one year.

― the ignatius rock of ignorance (Dr Morbius), Monday, 4 June 2018 21:50 (seven years ago)

i think "festival" always implies it is not closed!

― the ignatius rock of ignorance (Dr Morbius), Monday, 4 June 2018 21:50 (seven years ago)

yeah anyone with the scratch can buy tickets, but try to get in on ticket packages when they first go on sale cause individual ticket prices are nuts

― Simon H., Monday, 4 June 2018 22:17 (seven years ago)

gotcha yea i see the onsale package dates, thx
