Guide To the Tribeca Film Festival
Two-hundred and fifty films will be shown during the TriBeCa Film Festival, which opened on Tuesday. Here is a guide to some of the films, so that you can plan your weekend.
“The Interpreter”
A beautiful woman works for the United Nations. A hard-boiled cop is initially suspicious of her intentions but eventually comes around to seeing that no-one that pretty can be all bad, in this sensitive, convincing portrait of someone in the throes of change who has yet to settle comfortably into a new self.
This is the most glamorous film of the festival and you will not be able to see it this weekend, so scratch it off your list.
"The Beat My Heart Skipped"
A young Parisian thug aspires to be a pianist, in this
sensitive, convincing portrait of someone in the throes of change who has yet to settle comfortably into a new self.
This is directed by Jacques Audiard, who is French and who has remade a cult classic from the 1970s, proving that it is not only American cinema that has lost all originality and is is in the throws of a pathetic necrophilia.
"Favela Rising"
A Brazilian thug aspires to be a part of the blossoming Afro-reggae dance and music movement, in this sensitive, convincing portrait of someone in the throes of change who has yet to settle comfortably into a new self.
This film is directed by Jeff Zimbalist's, who is a person and not an unusual musical instrument.
"Transamerica"
A woman who stars in the new show that keeps women in the house and barefoot on Sunday nights plays a transsexual who pretends to be an evangelical Christian, in this sensitive, convincing portrait of someone in the throes of change who has yet to settle comfortably into a new self.
Duncan Tucker directed this movie and is probably not the same person as GOP Congressman Duncan Hunter.
