Films at TFF 37

I saw the following films at the Telluride Film Festival. I’ll try to get around to adding a few notes on each:

• Chico and Rita
• Oka! Amerikee
• The Illusionist
• Moana: A Story of the South Seas
• The First Movie
• Precious Life
• Incendies
• Inside Job
• Tabloid
• Happy People: A Year in the Taiga
• The Way Back
• Le Quattro Volte
• Tamara Drewe
• Never Let me Go
• Biutiful
• Of Gods and Men
• Black Swan

The film festival was excellent, as always. The films selected are rarely anything less than excellent, so reviews tend to range from good to superlative. It is probably the best film festival to attend for people who really love films. While the environment is low-key and friendly, the festival is attended by luminaries of the film industry and most films are introduced by the directors. Technically the festival is flawless and some of the venues are fitted with top of the line projection and sound equipment.
