Astazi incepe Festivalul International al Filmului din Toronto si eu inca n-am apucat sa decid ce filme vreau sa vad. Dar, in traditia expertilor de internet, va voi spune ce filme vor altii sa vada.

Sunt 3 filme romanesti in TIFF: "Outbound"/"Periferic" (regia Bogdan George Apetri) si "The Autobiography of Nicolae Ceausescu" (regia Andrei Ujica), cat si "Look, Stranger" (d. Arielle Savitch), cu Anamaria Marinca in rolul principal.

LOOK, STRANGER

Directed by Arielle Savitch (tiff, imdb)
A beautifully realized story of one young woman's spirited journey through a war torn landscape into safety. With only spare moments of dialogue, LOOK, STRANGER is a riveting, profoundly moving experience. Staring the multi-award winning actress Annamaria Marinca (4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days...) who will be in attendance on September 11 and September 13.

• Saturday, September 11, 7 p.m. AMC 9
• Monday, September 13, 9:30 p.m. AMC 7
• Saturday, September 18, 10:00 a.m. AMC 4

OUTBOUND (Periferic)

Directed by Bogdan George Apetri (tiff, imdb)
"Matilda, a feisty woman-child with a sordid past, is out on prison leave. Are twenty-four hours enough to make up for her mistakes and skip out of the country in time for a brand new life? Working with an all-star writing team – Tudor Voican (California Dreamin'), Cristian Mungiu (4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days) and Ioana Uricaru (Tales from the Golden Age) – Apetri orchestrates a cataclysmic road race led by an inscrutable heroine, all the more compelling for keeping her thoughts hermetically sealed."

• Saturday September 11, 3:00:00 PM, AMC 3
• Thursday September 16, 9:15: PM, AMC 3
• Saturday September 18, 9:30:00 AM, SCOTIABANK THEATRE 3

THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF NICOLAE CEAUSESCU

Directed by Andrei Ujica (tiff, imdb)
Culled from one thousand hours of archival footage and four years in the making, this spellbinding montage epic unfolds as if fromt he nostalgic memory of former Romanian ruler, after his reign was brought to an abrupt and tumultuous end in December 1989.

• Thursday, September 16 5:30 p.m. AMC 10
• Friday September 17, 5 p.m. AMC 9

Iata si selectiile unei prietene. Le public aici intrucat ma gandesc ca pot servi si altor tinere vlastare de inspiratie feminina, si mi-e si mie mai usor sa le inspectez cand sunt publicate pe o pagina.
