Day 3 is for Pictures/TBAs for Monday/Rust and Animation/Mads in Town/My Monday Sked?


Good Labor Day America!  Celebrating the peeps who get it done...

SUNDAY WAS PICTURE DAY

I have family that likes to come and play at this Festival.  Sunday, they got to mingle with "the talent" and seemed to be pretty happy about it.  Below is some of the photographic evidence to prove the stories they'll be telling for the next few months.  Seems like they had a good time.

Me, I was watching a movie...but I got to see Marion Cotillard in person talk about the craft...so, you know, can't complain.

Seriously...today will be a full day...

RUST AND ANIMATION





Caught the Marion Cotillard tribute Sunday morning at The Palm and was nothing short of impressed by Ms. Cotillard during the Q+A after the highlight reel.

I was blown away by a surprise 5 minute screening of a segment of James Gray's forthcoming "Low Life/The Nightingale" or whatever it will be called.  Wonderful and let me just say this if Cotillard and Joaquin Phoenix are not Oscar nominated this year...this looks like a good bet for both of them next year...and a good bet for TFF #40 as well.


Ms. Cotillard in Telluride


Then I was very impressed with "Rust and Bone".  I've been hot to see this film since before it was announced for Cannes and was not disappointed.  For my money, better film than Palme D'or winner "Amour".

Gritty, moving, real, touching.  A fine depiction of common people dealing with tragedy and their own limitations and finding the will and ability to transcend them.  Cotillard is spectacular and Matthias Schoenaerts is excellent.

Jacques Audiard welds together a disparate story based on short stories from Craig Davidson and scripted by Audiard and Thomas Bidegain.

See it today...

And the animation...I was able to slide into Serge Bromberg's presentation of Annecy Animation Sunday afternoon at The Masons Hall.  Beautiful, funny, funky, revelatory and astounding.  Personal favorites were: "Paperman", "Edmond Was a Donkey", "Tunnel", "Aalterate", "Seven Minutes in the Warsaw Ghetto", "Tram" and "Una Furtiva Lagrima".

MADS IN TOWN



Ran into Telluride tributee Mads Mikkelsen at The New Sheridan last night.  Talked briefly about the fest and his trib.  As is almost always the case here, he couldn't have been more kind and generous...well, I guess he could have picked up my bar tab.

Nice meeting you Mr. Mikkelsen.
