As a more economical way of previewing some of the films that are being featured daily at the festival, I’ve decided to come up with this quick featurette of a journalist retrieving the items in his press box. Today I received press kits for: Sabina Guzzanti’s Draquila Italy Trembles, Michel Leclerc’s Le Nom des Gens (The Names of Love) starring Jacques Gamblin & Sara Forestier), Chongqing Blues from Wang Xiaoshuai, Mathieu Amalric’s Tournee (On Tour) starring himself and non-professional actors and Manoel de Oliveira’s The Strange Case of Angelica (with Ricardo Trepa and Pilar Lopez de Ayala). I’ll try to add commentary and some face time as I actually flip the pages of the guides in the future installments.
