IFF Day 10: Howl, Nowhere Boy, Mr. Nobody
Howl features parts of the poem Howl. In animation. It also features re-created interviews with Allen Ginsburg, played by James Franco. And court scenes, with the actual transcripts from the obscenity trial faced by Howl’s publisher. Poetry on film hardly ever works (or never works, save Bright Star). Trial scenes are boring, animations are tedious, bio-pic scenes are alright but not exciting (except the fact that it has the handsomest cast in recent times: Franco, Jon Hamm, David Strathairn, Alessandro Nivola).
IFF Day 11: The Last Station
The Last Station has Helen Mirren. Magnificent. If it needs anything else, it also has a great performance by Christopher Plummer. It’s about the last days of Tolstoy, which is pretty interesting. Still, ultimately I found The Last Station a bit too bland. I think what bugged me the most was the constant use of music, as if the film did not have enough faith in itself to move the audience, so it had to rely on the score. The director was there for a Q&A, but I thought it would be rude to ask him about the music…
IFF Day 12: Save Emek!
No movies on Day 12. Instead, I went to a town-hall type meeting about an old movie theater (Emek) that is planned to be torn down – sorry, “moved to the eighth floor of a multiplex without being torn down.”
IFF Day 9: Muezzin, Blood Simple, Kinatay
Day 8 was spent in nature, with family and friends. No movies, but I did watch 24. Interesting change of pace.
IFF Day 7: Fish Tank, Perrier’s Bounty
It’s ‘Beautiful Irish Men Day’ at IFF.
