Saturday I went directly from my two festival films to a wedding in the St. Andrews club overlooking Toronto Harbour and, incidentally, the Roy Thompson Hall gala. I think I was having a better time which means these reviews are short.
La Tourneuse de Pages was a deliberately slow-moving thriller which avoids the obvious choices. The acting is wonderful and very French. Four stars out of five.
A Grave-Keeper’s Tale was interesting, entertaining and an example of how artistic expression is possible in India’s regional cinema markets. For different reasons this one is also four stars out of five. Labels: French, thriller, TIFF Toronto International Film Festival
