Reviews from Box 61
Hey All, Went to three films today at 6pm was at the Ryerson, saw FADOS -- was a great creative way to start off the festival. Was a musical, dance variations of Fados which are essentially Portuguese Blues. Very intense, very emotional, some fantastic voices. Was like doing a intro class in the art form in all of its forms from traditional and historic to the contemporary and modern.
Second Film was PERSEPOLIS based on a series of graphic novels about a young girl's journey from childhood to young adulthood in Iran. Was heartwrenching, funny, put you through the whole gamut of emotions. I enjoyed it. The line was horrendous and I arrived an hour early. At the Visa screening room you get into a preferred line if you are a gold or platinum Visa cardholder you get into a special lounge and even if it is full their line goes in first. I think the fee is too high for myself, but hey maybe next year.
Third was a wonderfully gory and gross film out of Italy THE MOTHER OF TEARS -- Scary, funny, gross and hell midway through the fire alarm went off for 15minutes. Was a complete gross out!!! Perfect midnight madness fare. Was accosted in line by a beautiful, inebriated young man named Alex. Had to yank him back like a raw recruit. "Hello Doll," I mean really!!! Met Coyette again this year as we like to sit in the front two rows. Was nice to have someone to sit with. 5 films tomorrow, sometimes I wonder about my sanity. More later today.
