. Anyway, now that’s over, we can say that we didn’t get a chance to see it at TIFF but everyone liked it a lot then and everyone likes it a lot now. NOW give it the cover feature, and Barrett Hooper notes it has “a perversely appealing mix of romance, humour and bestiality that will have you laughing hard and nodding knowingly even as it leaves the occasional bad taste in your mouth”.

9:00pm – The White Planet (Cumberland 2)

Fairly big news in the world of TIFF today with the announcement of a new programme, Vanguard. The first word of the press release is "edgy" which we kind of wish they’d spelt with a 3, considering the new programme is "fearless" and features "a raw, pulsating aesthetic that speaks to sexual, cultural and cinematic freedoms". Whoa! If I want sexual freedom in the cinema I’ll go to the Metro! To be honest, we’re not entirely sure what separates this programme from their Visions programme, but, we guess maybe Visions is more about the filmmaker’s quirks than the film’s totally extreme 3dgyness? Bottom line – “These films are edgy, irreverent, definitely sexy, and have a palpable, youthful zing.” Means, “Dear hipsters, please come to our festival.”
