EIFF 2

The Kreutzer Sonata, in which director Bernard Rose incises deeply into a rich man’s jealousy, and I fall madly in love with Elizabeth Rohm after stepping on her train on the way out.

Red: an unspeakably taut neo-noir modern western whose success is almost ridiculous when you find out that it was made in two halves by two directors at two different times.

Understatement of the week: “I don’t think I do something special. I’m just lucky to get the right light.” Roger Deakins, humble to a fault.

Dreams With Sharp Teeth. “You are not entitled to an opinion; you are entitled to an informed opinion. The rest is just babble and noise and farts in the wind.” Harlan Ellison, more quotable than any ten other madmen. Big fan of Naomi Campbell.
