Director Steve McQueen says that "Shame" will stay exactly as we saw it in Telluride over Labor Day weekend. The film which has created a sensation after showing in the San Juans and also in Venice and Toronto especially for the performances of Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan is almost certainly headed toward an NC-17 MPAA rating. McQueen says that he won't change anything to avoid the rating. McQueen's insistence is reported in this story from Hollywood News:

TILDA TALKS
Tilda Swinton was one of this year's three tributees and appeared at TFF #38 with her new film "We Need to Talk About Kevin." The film premiered at Cannes in May and has created a good deal of Oscar buzz for her performance. She sat down recently with Roger Ebert in an interview that I have linked for you to look at here:

DANGEROUS AND ALBERT
Reviews continue to pour in from Toronto screenings of Telluride #38 films. David Cronenberg's "A Dangerous Method" is still swimming upstream (I agree) while Rodrigo Garcia's "Albert Nobbs" is still dividing critics (I thought it was very good). Hollywood News posted brief reviews yesterday (along with a brief review of Sundance favorite "Take Shelter"). Here's the link:
