Tribeca, French Actresses, Gay History

1 May 2009 11:03 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »

Next week blogging will return to normal but this weekend I'm mostly offline. That's normally hard for me (My name is Nathaniel and I'm an internet addict) but this wedding weekend is such a blast that I haven't much though of movies... except for when we passed the Alamo Ritz earlier.

Before I left I took in my last Tribeca film, All About Actresses [Q & A] which is a French mockumentary about actresses and their neurosis.

Francis Ford Coppola had made an announcement which turned out (I'm guessing here) to work in his favor. The section is filled with preems and a good chunk of films that have already played elsewhere - Indiewire had shortlisted Lynn Shelton's crowd-pleasing mumblecore film as a possibility and Denis Villeneuve's Polytechnique inclusion wasn't exactly a secret either (I made the mention here a couple of days back). The Safdie brothers who closed the same sidebar last year with a short film and The Pleasure of Being Robbed have combined their efforts to bring another project in Go Get Some Rosemary, which »
