Here’s the newest and spiffiest Telluride rundown from World of Reel‘s Jordan Ruimy. There are two or three titles that he hasn’t been able to nail down, but there are fairly safe bets. I remain heartbroken that Clint Eastwood’s Cry Macho isn’t included; ditto The Many Saints of Newark. I mentioned yesterday that I’m jubilant about Dune not playing there. I’ve placed an HE after films of special interest.
It’s a five-day festival this time (9.2 through 9.6) but really four and a half — I usually average about three films per day (you can’t just see them — you also have to write about them) and occasionally four. Out of 30 films I might get around to seeing 16 or 18, depending on the breaks. One of the big titles is screening two or three times over the next few days for hotshot media types. I asked yesterday if I could please attend one of the showings — the rep couldn’t even be bothered to politely decline. Classy.
