Here’s my short list of 20 films I’m hustline to see at TIFF—though calling it a “shortlist” is a bit of a stretch. And honestly, at 5’7″, I’m not really a “short king” either, just slightly above the metrics (or so I keep telling myself).
Tim Basaraba – Critical Zone is interesting in that it straddles two types of cinematic languages. One in the tradition of Italian neorealism, being set amongst the poor and the working class, filmed on location, with non-professional actors.
Peter Cameron – The one thing that sucks about SIFF is parking. It’s expensive and nearly impossible to find, which can break your spirit. But as my friend and fellow NadaMucho.com critic, Tim Basaraba, likes to say, “Not today!”
Peter Cameron – Sometimes a title says it all. Wedding Crashers, A Bridge Over the River Kwai, The Godfather, you get the drift. Then there are titles that bury the lead: Chinatown, The Third Man. Thomas Arslan’s Scorched Earth, on the other hand, is like the film: subtle.
