Thanks for the correction.<br /><br />Regarding LA PIVELLINA, look again. It IS in the New Directors line-up. I missed seeing it at Palm Springs, so I hope to catch it at SFIFF (especially now considering your hearty endorsement).<br /><br />I hear what you're saying regarding Joan Rivers. It's a movie I have zero interest in seeing.Michael Hawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04712772885405352863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2520374013278982095.post-33532261175330408292010-03-24T23:57:45.019-07:002010-03-24T23:57:45.019-07:00Hi Michael, actually, 2010 Sundance Grand Jury Pri...Hi Michael, actually, 2010 Sundance Grand Jury Prize for Documentary - World Cinema went to The Red Chapel, a film I sadly missed and is very much on my wish list. Nevertheless Last Train Home is excellent and eerily reminds me of Up the Yangtze, though I felt TRAIN is a superior film.<br /><br />A film that I've seen that I wish my local friends could see would be La Pivellina. I was surprised it's not in the New Directors' lineup.<br /><br />Putting JOAN RIVERS on the closing night probably means once again I won't be able to catch a film in that slot. Oh well.kaifuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03958184537504956524noreply@blogger.com
