Body: Even though SPOUT was not in Telluride, I was and had a great time (as usual). College football cut into a little viewing time, but I still managed to see 14 feature films and 5 short films. Here's the rundown. First up Friday at "The Backlot" was 14-18, the Noise and the Fury (2009). This was an effective film on the horrors of war. Next, also at the Backlot was Disco and Atomic War (2009). Disco... was well done and a great show on the effects of mass media. After the feed, we headed to the Sheridan Opera House for the tribute to Margarethe von Trotta and her new film, Vision (2009) - it was quite good. Next, still at the Opera House was Gigante (2009). It was not among my favorites from the weekend. Saturday started off with the powerful and graphic A Prophet (2009). Next up was one of Alexander Payne's selections for revival, The Breaking Point (1950). Mr. Payne explained how he came to originally see the end of this classic and how he managed to work it into another screening opportunity where he saw the entire film for the first time. Following the classic, we moved on to the well-made <!-- @page { size: 8.5in 11in; margin: 0.79in } P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } -->Australian film, Samson & Delilah (2009). I wrapped up Saturday at "The Chuck" and a screening of Todd Solondz's new film (which was a real hoot!) titled Life During Wartime (2009). Sunday started with one of Werner Herzog's two new films, Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009). This film was fun, not too serious, but not totally a joke either. It was also fun because I sat next to Margarethe von Trotta and had the opportunity to talk about her film Vision and where it was filmed and the like. Next up was An Education (2009). this very well-made film had a serious story to tell and it told it well. After learning a lesson in love, we moved off to the tribute to Viggo Mortensen and John Hillcoat's new film The Road (2009). I really enjoyed this film. It was dark and yet hopeful; very well-done. Monday, after attending the Labor Day Picnic, we saw Veit Harlan: In the Shadow of Jud Süss (2009). This doc was a bit difficult to follow, but it was an interesting look at how the descendants of Harlan deal with the truth about their ancestor. Next we saw the very well-made film by Michael Hoffman, The Last Station (2009). Can you say "Oscar Bait"? The final feature of the weekend was Henri-Georges Clouzot's Inferno (2009). This was a collection of clips and reenactments (based upon script notes) from the failed Inferno project from the early 1960's. My impression of the film was that Clouzt was in over his head and did not know what film he was trying to make - and it seems that it almost killed him. The short films I saw, all preceding features, were: Hulahoop Soundings (2008), The Kinda Sutra (2008), Photographs of Jesus (2008), Scoring (2008), and VEM (I Know) (2008). It was another really good Labor Day Weekend! Tom

Body: Dimension Films, The Weinstein Company, and 2929 Productions present The Road, a film by John Hillcoat. Based upon the acclaimed novel of the same name by Cormac McCarthy and adapted by Joe Penhall, The Road stars Viggo Mortensen and Kodi Smit-McPhee with notable names in supporting performances given by Robert Duvall, Guy Pearce, and Charlize Theron. This picture was filmed by Javier Aguirresarobe. The Road runs 119 minutes and has been rated “R” by the MPAA. A father and his son travel south during the onset of the Apocalyptic Winter. Tied together by love like a nearly unbreakable rope and the commitment to remain “good guys” and to “carry the flame” of humanity, they face danger and fight to survive with each new approaching moment. The man and boy love each other as would be expected by father and son. It is a strong bond that can only be broken by death. It is a bond that guides both in their determination and behavior. Each influences the other to keep the moral high ground. It is difficult to describe how very bleak this film presents the world in the near-future. The sky is gray and lifeless as if covered by an old dirty and musty bed sheet. The landscape seems as lifeless – the trees are all dead and there seems to be no other plant life. The earth shakes and trembles like some old animal dying of a terrible, terminal illness. Most of the people encountered have lost their humanity, giving it up for a singular desire to survive another day. Others, while not willing to do anything bad, have given up their dignity. And it seems more than not have just given up and committed suicide to avoid the inevitable – they chose their death instead of allowing it to come to them in an unknown and likely violent form. It is also difficult to describe how well the boy was played by Kodi Smit-McPhee. At first, one tires of his character saying “Papa” all the time. Then, as the two characters pull you in, you realize that each “Papa” is different just as in paint samples, so too is the tone of each “Papa” different and appropriate for the situation. The tones ring of naive questioning, panic, fear, disapproval, joy, begging for compassion, and many others. Much is said with the tone of voice or just a look on his face and he is very successful in this communication to the audience. Viggo Mortensen was strong as the man. Dedicated to the safety and survival of his family and its humanity, he was willing to do whatever was needed to ensure that maintained a moral compass while surviving the gauntlet of dangers at every turn. He was not going to quit. He was not going to set a bad example for his son to see. He was determined to do the right thing in impossible scenarios. Often there were times when the love and compassion he gave to his son was reflected back to steady his course. A look at the supporting roles can only start one place. Robert Duvall delivers his character in glowing fashion. It is stunning how good he is in the short role he plays as the old man. Guy Pearce does a very nice job with his role as well, quickly convincing the audience that he is a stranger who may be trusted. That leaves us with Charlize Theron. Her role was greatly over cast. Many a lesser talented actress could have done as well with the role. There was just not enough to the role for her talents to really shine. The picture is filmed very effectively, delivering the gloom and impending danger as well as the glimmering of hope for the future. Sets and locations and scenes deliver the reality that draws one into the story, making you believe the reality of the situation. The Road is a very good film and we should all sit in a theater and take it in - it tells what the future may hold, both the bad and the good.

Body: I have had the DVD of Character on my entertainment stand for over a month. Somehow the synopsis was not drawing me to watch the film. I could not remember how it got onto my Netflix queue, but they thought that I would like it. They think I will like every foriegn film. Their statistics on foriegn films does not seem to be as good as it is with other films. In this case, they were just about right on the money! The film starts off fast in an action scene, all of which we don't get to see in those opening moments. Then it backtracks to tell the story that leads up the opening sequence. It is very well written and acted. Don't worry about that missed opening sequence, you'll get to see it, and my bet is that you'll enjoy it. Check out this very well-made film at your first opportunity! Tom
