Toronto Film Fest, Day the Last
Sep. 18th, 2005 01:20 amIt's over for another year. The screenings on the last day were a mixed lot--okay to bad--and I bailed on the final midnight screening after hearing from multiple people, including the friend who programmed it, that the ick factor was rather higher that I like in my movies. (I can take gore, but only if it's funny gore.)
But I've survived without my back packing it in and without my brain leaking out my ears (it's just feeling a trifle squishy) so I consider it a successful fest. Which is good, since chances are slim I'll get to more than one or two screenings next year. It's the end of an era for me. I've been attending the fest religiously since I was eighteen, with two years off when I was living in the States attending, ironically, film school. That's nineteen fests attended; not a bad run.
