SXSW and Tribeca are a couple of other major festivals catering to independents.<br /><br />Toronto is different because it doesn't have a competition but it is just as important because it often hosts the premieres for upcoming awards season hopefuls, and is really the first chance for the public and mass media to see the year's big festival titles.Bonjour Tristessehttp://www.bonjourtristesse.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556159764413551252.post-83625378128031110082012-04-23T05:06:45.111-07:002012-04-23T05:06:45.111-07:00Thanks BT for this detailed post on the lineup, lo...Thanks BT for this detailed post on the lineup, lots to look forward to!

I'm looking forward to seeing critical reaction to Like Someone in Love and The Paperboy. Haneke has got an interesting cast but the subject matter looks tough... I read Don DelLillo 's Cosmopolis and despite it only being a short book it took me an age to read. I hated it so much. I'll watch the film version though because the cast looks awesome and it's Cronenberg so he should be able to make something great.Jasonhttp://genkinahito.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556159764413551252.post-21021486253445219742012-04-21T13:38:39.101-07:002012-04-21T13:38:39.101-07:00Some amazing films!

Earlier today I tweeted that I would be content if either Michael Haneke, Alain Resnais or Abbas Kiarostami took home the Palme D'Or, but with all these selections I don't know who will win and some of them look very deserving. However since Haneke is my favourite working director at the moment, I'm sincerely hoping Amour will do well and maybe even take home a top prize.
