How unusual! Not a lot of festivals this week. Just the Indie Can Film Festival this weekend, and the Toronto Arab Film Festival starting on Wednesday.

6:00pm – The Fountain (Visa Screening Room (Elgin))

Yesterday, while listening to NPR for the obvious reasons, we heard a terrific interview with Ralph Fiennes. Terrific because at the very end of the interview, Leonard Lopate throws a curve at the pointy actor by asking him why he pronounces his name Rayfe. A short pause follows, and then Fiennes cobbles together an answer along the lines of 'that is actually how it was pronounced historically.' Now if we could only ask Chloë Sevigny from whence that umlaut came! Alas, we can't, because she's not starring in The Constant Gardener, the only movie opening this weekend that doesn't look abysmal, which by default makes it look all the more appetizing. A thriller set in Africa, starrring Rachel Weisz and no Brendan Fraser. There are worse things you could do with a Friday evening and a bag of popcorn.
