The film fest is over for another year, and I was hoping, again, to get caught up on the reviews I haven't written. But that's been derailed, again. Ros and I were supposed to meet the Sweetie for a post-fest dinner at Ros' favourite restaurant, but she started throwing up just as we were about to head out the door. And it's looking like it might be a long night of dealing with a very unhappy little girl.

So until I can get the reviews done, I thought I'd post the trailers of three of my favourite films of the fest.

First up, Ralph Fiennes' Coriolanus, which manages to both be an ingenious modern day version and just a cracking fine film:

Watch it here if the embed fails

Second is Wim Wenders' Pina, a 3D film of the modern dance of the late choreographer Pina Bausch. It's stunning and beautiful and the best use of 3D I've seen since Herzog's Cave of Forgotten Dreams.

Finally, there's Headhunters, a far too fun Norwegian thriller:
