Starts on Friday...its a beguiling program this year, full of some stunning new films from the masters - Almodavar, Leigh, Solondz, Godard, Rohm, but also some new stuff from out of the way places like Thialand and Senegal.
Its sort of unfortunate that I will be in miami for the first weekend and miss some absolute corkers!!!
But at least I do get back in time for the Pedro stuff and the Directors Dialogue with Mike Leigh.
Opening night is Comme une image (Look at me) by (and staring) filmmaker-actress Agnès Jaoui and her writing partner-lead actor Jean-Pierre Bacri a deliciously bittersweet ensemble comedy. 
Then there is the opening night black tie party at the god awful "Tavern on the Green", for which I must, I must remember my camera or else !
After the libations its off to sunny (hopefully) Miami in the morning with a stay in the Delano to buck my spirits. Of course like last year I will post an occassional review of the films I catch, as well as pics from any of the parties.
