TIFF -Day 4

Day 4
-------
Manderlay - Lars von Trier (Denmark)
Sun, Sep 11 2:45 p.m Paramount 1

All Hail the King!
another comback from the master , the most intellectual contemporary director of our times who's also known among friends as the "Weirdo" :)
honestly i was let down , thinking this is going to be better than Dogville (it was more human and accessible) , but i guess my expections were too high, but be it as it may, it still kicks butts!
this man IMHO, is a genious, and fortunately i'm not alone on that assertion.
i think he's become too complex for himself, he actually stated that this triology might be considerd "pretty boring" , ut that's for the average movie-goers- who coincidently never have watched any of his previous works.
the notions of power, justice, racism and democracy have been brutally and calculatingly examined by his surgon knife of cinamtic explorations.
this one might swindle between a study of the American culture and a plain story about how a group of human being can not manage to handle power.

Mary - Abel Ferrara (France/Italy)
9:30 PM ISABEL BADER THEATRE
this was a true gem, which i have my fate to thank for, being able to see this, and the marvelous Q&A which followed afterwards (the coolest, down-to-earth guests of the festival).
