Bad Faith (Sweden) - interesting (not like Hollywood) suspense movie - an illogical script, but a different way of telling stories. Not everything in life makes sense.
Stone (US) - Robert DeNiro and Edward Norton - what else can I say. If you like the art of acting, watch this film for a lesson on how it's done (well, you won't know how it's done, but the actors are brilliant). Milla Jovovich is excellent as the female supporting actress
The Illussionist - Sylvain Chomet's follow up to "the Triplets fo Belleville"- a work of art in many levels. The film is a love letter to a bygone era. Ironically (or not) the film was made in 2D animation, the old fashion way. Every frame is a work of art by an animator. The story revolves around a vaudeville magician who sees his world disappearing (just as 2D animation has)...
"Passione" another love letter - this one to the city of Naples, its music and its people. Stunning photography in stunning locations and incredible music - "Passione" lives up to its name. Directed by actor John Turturro (who incidentally is Italian American, but not from Naples, but from Sicily).
TIFF is a remarkable festival in a remarkable city.
