More Films

No more stars, but 5 more films on Thursday and Friday.
Took a pass on Thursday morning, but two afternoon films at the Varsity:
"Breaking and Entering" with Jude Law, which will probably come out in the theatres and "Outsourced", about an American Call Centre, and how it was relocated to India and after it got running well through all the comic parts, was in the end moved to China. (Hope Glenn doesn't get moved to Germany, or something!)
Today, Friday, started with "Bobby", directed by Emilio Estevez (he was also in it) and scads of familiar movie and TV faces. First film I've ben to that the audience clapped for each of the stars as the credits rolled. Very moving and well done.
This afternoon, "The Island", a Russian film was long, dreary and grey, with a sad plot line but had a few funny lines; "Nouvelle Chance", a French film was also a hard plod about an aged actress/singer, but did have a happy ending.
Only three to go tomorrow, and then it's all over for another year, except for watching what comes out in General Release or is at the Carlton over the next year.
I've heard both comments that the Festival this year was really good, and really awful. It's all about personal taste anyway. You make choices and hope for the best. I'm sure the Volunteers and programming staff will be happy when they can sleep in on Sunday morning.
