"At this point in the festival, it’s hard for me to make room in my schedule for films screening purely in the market when there’s competition stuff to see at the same time (although I did see Olivier Assayas’ Summer Hours today, and that was totally worth it––more later). And so on Thursday morning, I’ll be watching Philippe Garrel’s Frontier of Dawn during the sole screening of Able Danger, a neo-noir “spoof” of 9/11 conspiracy theorists. We turn, once again, to the official Marche du Film guide for a synopsis: Even in Brooklyn, they don’t know exactly what happened on 9/11. But that the truth is not what we were told is obvious in this spoof. Satirical conspiracy thriller disguised as a film noir, full of attractive fast-talking babes, spectacled activists and fetishistic neo-Nazis. Thomas Flynn runs a left wing (’radical’) café/bookstore and is the writer of a conspiracy exposé about 9/11. He suddenly finds himself the focus of attention o "

"The Nee brothers film, The Last Romantic, is a narrative journey through the eyes of its lead character, Calvin Wizzig (played by Adam Nee, half of the screenwriting/production team), an undiscovered poet waiting for the world to discover his talent. The film brilliantly follows the random adventures of Calvin as he journeys through NYC, attempting to find a publisher for his poems.I am a poet/I'm chivalry/I'm chastity/I mate for life/Do I mate for life/I'm fresh ideas echoes as we meet Calvin. He carries a little notebook, the home of his poems, which turn out to be simply two poems no more than a few lines, tucked between pages of doodles and letters back home to his sister Elizabeth. Calvin Wizzig is the last romantic, viewing life through a sometimes black & white grainy fantasy, complete with wafting accordion sounds and sultry women. Although Calvin claims his journey is to publish poems, he is really traveling to find love, searching for a home.Every bit of the film is p ... "
