Sunday's TBAs / Sometimes Dreams Come True / Sunday Planned Films /Sunday Plans / Notes from Saturday's Films
Good Sunday Ladies and Germs...the 44th Telluride Film Festival has moved past its half way point. Hope it has been as good for you as it has been for me...
SUNDAY TBAs
SOMETIMES DREAMS COME TRUE
Many of you folks who are faithful readers of this space know that I have been in dogged pursuit of trying to engineer a meeting this weekend between my wife and writer/director Guillermo Del Toro. Without flogging the whole story again, suffice it to say that my wife is an incredible woman and teacher within a set of circumstances that I thought might resonant with Del Toro.
To remind everyone, Guillermo is truly a personal hero to her and to her students.
So, I posted this week an explanation of her circumstance and my hope that she might be able to come face to face with Del Toro and express how important a place he had in her heart.
And so many MTFB followers responded with advice and solid, concrete steps to take to make a meeting happen this weekend during the festival including faithful reader Jack Wertzberger and others who prefer to keep anonymous. I want to say thanks to you folks for your kindness and generosity in trying to make this happen.
And ultimately, it did happen on Saturday night thanks to the very generous invitation to MTFB from Fox Searchlight to attend their Telluride party.
We accepted and Senor Del Toro and many others were in attendance. And let me mention that Guillermo Del Toro is a magnanimous individual.
As a matter of fact, Del Toro took this selfie:
The evening also included a Del Toro autograph of his book Cabinet of Curiosities.
Suffice it to say that Senor Del Toro could not have been any more gracious.
Finally, we plan to see The Shape of Water in the morning. What a night!
SUNDAY PLANNED FILMS
The Shape of Water
Battle of the Sexes
Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool or Umbrellas of Cherbourg
Loving Vincent
NOTES FROM SATURDAY'S FILMS
Lean on Pete: Charlie Plummer is fantastic in a film that seems especially evocative of a specific culture. Steve Buscemi is also awesome.
Lady Bird: Greta Gerwig's directing debut is honest and sweet and true. Saoirse Ronan, Lukas Hedges. Tracy Letts and Laurie Metcalf shine.
Wonderstruck: Seemed to me that the second act meandered and some threads introduced at the beginning got lost along the way.
Ate next to Alexander Payne's table at a restaurant. We exchanged pleasantries. Was cool.
That's your Saturday. I'll be back for more as Sunday concludes. For now, remember this...
Don't forget, my friends, I want your ratings of the films you see next weekend. Use a 0-5 scale with 0 being "putrid" and 5 being "best film since..."
I will publish The People's Telluride film ratings a week to ten days after the festival concludes. Join in!
That's all for now. More tomorrow and on Wednesday I'll post a special edition of MTFB with the final "Bets" for TFF #44.

DAY TWO COMMENT
Opened with Sully which I really enjoyed much more than I expected to. Nice turn by Hanks. Maybe he will be in the Best Actor conversation.
Then Bright Lights which I also enjoyed. Very warm and entertaining. Highlight was during the and A when Debbie Reynolds phoned in to her son Todd Fisher and was able to speak briefly to those of us in the theater.
Then caught Barry Jenkins Moonlight. Moving with fine performances across the board. Naomie Harris could be in the Supporting Actress picture.
Ended the evening with Denis Villenieuve's Arrival and the Amy Adams tribute. Adams was a joy in the pre-show Q and A. It'll be interesting to see if Oscar voters warm to the SciFi story.
DAY THREE SCHEDULE (at least as it stands now)
Toni Erdmann
Una
Wakefield
Norman
Winners so far: La La Land and (surprise) Sully. Liking Arrival, Moonlight. Still not sold on Manchester.
