Today is an exciting day for fans of Jane Campion who looks like she as returned to form. If there was a film that I wanted to see badly (had to miss it yesterday because I wanted to see Coppola open talk about Tetro) is Andrea Arnold’s Fish Tank which from yesterday’s buzz means that I might be looking forward to a great follow up to her debut film Red Road. Finally, I’ll catch an early screening for Taking Woodstock from Ang Lee.
