hear there's some sort of festival in town or something. Toronto Film Something… Oh right, the
Toronto International Film Festival. All kidding aside, TIFF is always something to look forward to. Every year the most exciting films from Hollywood and all over the world are shipped to Toronto along with their producers, stars, directors, and agents. The city is simultaneously overrun with cinephiles and celeb-stalkers as films share the spotlight with high-profile and exclusive nightclub parties. Get ready for it, because for the next ten days, if you go anywhere near Yorkville or the entertainment district, you'll have to deal with the circus that is TIFF.
Today is the official start of the festivities, and, as usual, the occasion is marked by a Canadian film. Paul Gross's
Passchendaele is getting a surprising amount of "important film" buzz considering his only other directorial effort was
Men With Brooms. The gala premiere of the film tonight will anoint ten days of TIFF craziness.
