Friday begins with The Sword Bearer aka: Mechenosets<\/span><\/a>, an impressionistic Russian film with noir elements, about a hero along the lines of the Punisher. Lots of action and violence promised in this one.<\/p>\n

Gary Oldham takes a break from playing psycho villains in American films to portray the possibly sympathetic protagonist in The Backwoods<\/span><\/a>. A European Deliverance<\/span><\/a> or Straw Dogs<\/span><\/a>, the movie recounts the tale of a Spanish hunting trip gone terrible wrong. Director Koldo Serra will be there live in person!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Saturday’s Ain’t It Cool News Secret Screening #1<\/a> leaves me with some trepidation and curiosity. I’m not always a fan of what those boys<\/a> like but I figure at least it will be interesting.<\/p>\n

The Danish Offscreen<\/span><\/a>, a reality story gone awry, won several awards including Young Cinema Award: 2006 Venice Film Festival and Best Actor: Danish Film Critics Association 2006 Bodil Awards (for star Nicolas Bro). From the description:<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Quote:<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Nicolas Bro reigns supreme in the role of Nicolas Bro \u2013 a man intent on making a film about himself. His friend Christoffer Boe lends him a camera and tells him to record everything, a remark which Bro takes a little too literally. His constant filming succeeds in driving both his wife Lene and his friends nuts, and when Lene finally calls it a day and moves to Berlin, Nicolas \u2013 driven by the thought of getting her back and filming the entire process \u2013 begins his inevitable descent into disintegration. His self-monitoring is so hair-raisingly private (and creepy) that it becomes impossible to separate fact from fiction.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Due to the Yom Kippur holiday my Friday and Saturday selections are limited. But don’t worry, everything of note that I wanted to see on those days is being shown later in the Festival.<\/p>\n

Still more to come…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
