Miles to Go Before I Sleep

Poor Will Farrell. It's like he's having an identity crisis. Today I saw him in a film called Everything Must Go. He's depressed and the world has dumped on him. And it's not a comedy. That was the first film that I sat through under the most freezing conditions. I'd say the Scotiabank folks were having a truly terrible day. Air con was broke and later that day they tried to fit 500 people into a 300 seat aud for 127 Hours. Didn't work too well - I left without seeing it.
Robert Redford and Robin Wright arrive for the Gala premiere of The Conspirator.

After the 127 Hours debacle I repaired back to the hotel to prepare for the evening. First up, rock star seats to The Conspirator. The film is beautifully shot and the cast gives an authentic glimpse into a time in history where the country was exhausted by the Civil War and the loss of President Lincoln. In that state, they were loose with civil rights. Before the film began, Redford introduced the principal cast on stage: Left to right Redford, Wright, McAvoy and Kline.
Because we are so cool, we had a party to attend before heading
to the Conspirator after-party. Fox Searchlight is having a stellar year and a stellar Toronto Film Festival with four pictures. They hosted a lovely party with cast and friends to celebrate. I caught a shot of Thandie Newton before the step 'n repeat.

Shot completely in the opposite direction in the rain and crowds to the Conspirator party where I was able to congratulate Redford on the film.

Sunday awaits with 5 films and another party.
