Ebertfest is coming
Mar. 18th, 2011 09:25 amThey posted the schedule for this year. I'm unusually disappointed. Most of what draws me to the festival is seeing films that I either can't see elsewhere or have never heard of. This year's not so great for that purpose. And a lot of the ones I don't know about I strongly suspect I'm not going to like.
I've already seen Metropolis at Ebertfest. I have no interest in dog movies. Me & Orson Welles is in my Netflix instant queue already. Documentaries generally aren't my thing. Tiny Furniture was just showing at the Art. I am deeply suspicious of I Am Love, particularly given reviews from friends-- and it's also in my instant queue.
Basically I'm left with Tiny Furniture if I haven't already managed to see it, Only You, possibly 45365, Life Above All, and Leaves of Grass-- out of which the only one I'm actually excited about is Leaves of Grass. It's weird for me to have this few that I want to see; there's twelve movies in the festival and usually I want to see at least half.
ETA: On the other hand, I will happily lend someone my pass to go see Metropolis on the big screen with live accompaniment. It's awesome.
