TIFF: Day 4

Wow, what a way to start the day this morning, with 'Hunger', the story of Bobby Sands, a 'soldier' in the IRA who went on a hunger strike in prison -- quite the intense way to start the day! A fantastic film with a tour-de-force 15(ish) minute, one-take, dialogue scene between the lead character and priest, it blew me away. Like I said though, it was quite intense, in fact, a woman in the row ahead of us passed-out towards the end and another woman on the way out was being looked after.

This movie won the Camera D'Or at Cannes and I wouldn't be surprised if it wins something here too.
Up next: Religulous!

Wow, glad to hear it was good Paul, I am quite familiar with the history and events around the subject matter so I am looking forward to this!
