Today was a mixture of mainly wasted time spent in dark rooms and a wonderful experience on a roof top. The day started out with an early morning foray into a modern day Manson Family with
MARTHA MARCY MAY MARLENE, strange and disquieting, followed by my favorite film so far,
ANONYMOUS, with Rhys Ifans and Vanessa Redgrave as the elder Queen Elizabeth,
and Joely Richardson as the young monarch. A sweeping, huge drink of a movie that presumes that William Shakespeare never wrote his plays, but rather a brooding Earl. LOVED it. Next we saw Pedro Almodovar's left turn (far left) turn
THE SKIN I LIVE IN, about a mad scientist played by Antonio Banderas who recreates his dead wife. Much a departure for the famed Spanish filmmaker. We were invite to Sony Pictures Classics 20th Anniversary party on the Rooftop at t
he Bell Lightbox. What a wonderful spac
e! And some pretty cool folks came to help celebrate Michael Barker and Tom Bernard on their co-presidency and accomplishments. Director Atom Egoyan (The Sweet Hereafter), Sony Chairman Sir Harry Stringer and director Norman Jewison. Last movie of the day,
ALWAYS BRANDO was an 'eh'. One chicken dog. One late night.
