This is a film festival I'm sorry I missed!

I thought it was something in the industrial/education and training genre but I am wrong...no...anything to do with dentists is best avoided as far as I am concerned...but is it any more compelling than chickens in the movies?

The Night of the Generals (Anatole Litvak 1967)
Peter O'Tooole, a fine actor reduced to playing Lawrence of Bavaria in a Nazi uniform; squirming in front of Van Gogh; other fine actors playing solid roles in an allegory on justice set against the July plot of 1944. Unbelievable.

I remember reading the book by Hans Helmet Kirst on which this film is based. The book was bad enough.

Death Race 2000

Hellraiser: Revelations

[Prospero]

Tiny Furniture - written and directed by Lena Dunham at the age of 23. A lame film but a first try-out for the characters later developed in the Girls TV comedy series. Lena Dunham is a talent to watch I think. In some ways there are hints of a young Woody Allen - though less witty. The social observation in Girls seems acute (though its a social milieu of which i know nothing - 20 somethings in contemporary NYC.)

Wuthering Heights (Andrea Arnold, 2011)
Emily Bronte's peculiar novel has attracted many film versions, why I do not know. If the book isn't bad enough -relentless hysterics, asthmatic crabbed writing, the films can never decide if Heathcliff is a Gypsy, Black, or even just a 'white man' with flowing black locks of hair. The films usually ignore half the book anyway focusing solely on the doomed relationship between Heathcliff and Cathy.
Andrea Arnold has shot the film with intense beauty, but the style she has been evolving, working with non-actors, minimal script, which sort of worked with Fish Tank, here reduces the story, insofar as there is one, to a lot of meaningful looks. Liberties are taken with the text, such as the young Heathcliff's riposte to the Linton's when they first meet: Fuck off, you cunts. I don't think that's in the book.

Thanks for the link Buttslinger -EB was one of those actors who never gave a duff performance and gave weight and depth to the films he was in. He had a good life and made some good films too.
