I am exhausted...someone please remind me to take the week off work next year!
Some more amazing films seen in the last two days, Imagine and Viola.
Imagine was gorgeous in many ways. It is the story of an unconventional blind teacher at a school for the blind set in Lisbon, Portugal. The white washed buildings and sunshine of Lisbon kept the film light and bright. The children in the film were incredible and inspiring.
Viola is a film from Argentina that just brings together a combination of 7 Shakespearean plays. The dialogue was rather mesmerizing and the beautiful Argentinian Spanish with their perfect rolling “r’s” was just incredible!
Imagine star Edward HoggMom and I bustled across the streets of Toronto this evening, spotting, Canadian film director/writer Deepta Mehta (Water and my personal fave, Hollywood/Bollywood) and James Earl Jones (the man with the voice!) at Lightbox and the cast of Disconnect outside the Princess of Wales theatre! (Can’t wait to see Disconnect this weekend!)
Tomorrow I have the day off TIFF...going to see Madonna!!!
The rundown to date:
1. The Gatekeepers - documentary about Israel’s internal intelligence agency, just absolutely incredible
2. Imagine - a beautiful film set in Lisbon about a school for blind children and their very unconventional teacher
3. 7 Boxes (Siete Cajas) - a super fun film from Paraguay about a teen who must guard 7 boxes with his life!
4. First Comes Love - documentary about a 41 year old woman who decides to have a child on her own
5. Le Capital - an french “hollywood” type film with a dramatic lead played by a stand up comic! (after finding that out, totally made it for me!)
6. Viola - A masterful combination of 7 Shakespearean plays, all with the most beautiful Argentinian spanish
