Additions to the 2010 Tribeca Film Festival (4.21 to 5.2) were announced yesterday. The two essentials for me are Sex & Drugs & Rock N’ Roll (i.e., Andy Serkis as Ian Dury), which I’ve written about a couple of times, and Jacob Tierney‘s The Trotsky (Jay Baruchel as a reincarnation of Leon Trotsky), which had its North American premiered six months ago in Toronto.
Others include Aaron Schneider‘s Get Low (close to excellent — saw it at Sundance), Michael Winterbottom‘s The Killer Inside Me (woman-hating, obsessively violent, largely despised at Sundance), Spike Lee‘s Kobe Doin’ Work (saw about half of it, found it rote and unexceptional, walked out), Albert Maysles and Bradley Kaplan‘s Muhammad and Larry, Jean Pierre Jeunet‘s Micmacs (I’m hearing good but meh), and Neil Jordan‘s Ondine (saw most of it in Toronto, not a huge fan).
