The midway point of our list presents established filmmakers changing up their "serves" sorta speak. Ang Lee goes subtitle country while Tony Kaye (American History X) delivers a documentary. We also have some legitimate shots at Oscar below - you decide which ones have the better chances.
Today's double pairings have very little in common - we have an Argentinean film that has had a delayed released, we have the only film sequel worth mentioning this year, we have a Clooney film from a newbie director and have a quirky comedy from a regular favorite filmmaker of ours.
In preparation for TIFF, we have a lovely trailer for most of you all. It’s the kind of trailer that makes many of us die-hard fans all fuzzy and warm inside, one that is offered to us in lovely shades of red, and offers heart-felt performances and (if people do end up agreeing with me) will become another American film classic. I’m of course talking about the Coen bros.’ No Country for Old Men - a film that resembles in quality to what many deem as their best films to date: Blood Simple and Fargo.
Apart from our Top 100 (intro to the year ahead) preview list, IONCINEMA.com’s Fall top 20 is our favorite list to compile. The wealth of quality film selections makes this task of ranking films a difficult one - there are many films that didn't make the cut that I'd wait in line and pay the full price for.
If “from the producers of Touching the Void” tag line doesn’t do enough to convey what kind of doc this might be turn out to be – then the film’s title Deep Water surely reveals the kind of zone this saga goes.
