This year's Toronto International Film Festival is a who's who of international cinema with the year's most anticipated movies making their World and North American premieres. Divided into the main programmes, listed below is the list of movies to watch for (Italian filmmakers are featured in another article in this week's issue of Tandem. Canadian filmmakers were featured in a previous edition.)
Galas
Robert Altman's The Company stars Canadian Neve Campbell as a gifted dancer on the verge of becoming a principal with the Joffrey Ballet of Chicago. The film also stars James Franco and Malcolm McDowell.
Jane Campion's In the Cut is based on Susanna Moore's bestselling novel of the same name, and stars Meg Ryan, Mark Ruffalo, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Nick Damici, and Kevin Bacon. A psychological thriller combining elements of modern love and modern crime, the film explores the darker side of passion when a lonely New York woman becomes involved with a tough homicide detective who is investigating a series of murders in her neighbourhood.
Ridley Scott's Matchstick Men stars Nicolas Cage, Sam Rockwell, Alison Lohman, and Bruce McGill in a story of how the life of a small-time con man is upset by the unexpected arrival of his teenage daughter.
Michael Winterbottom's Code 46 stars Tim Robbins and Samantha Morton, in a compelling love story that travels into an eerily possible near-future where cities are heavily controlled and only accessible through checkpoints.
Richard Linklater's The School of Rock, starring Jack Black as a hell-raising guitarist who turns a class of fifth grade high-achievers into high-voltage rock 'n' rollers.
John Irvin's The Boys from County Clare, about two estranged brothers as they duke it out in a traditional Irish music competition. Anne Fontaine's Nathalie... about a wife's response to her husband's infidelity starring Fanny Ardant, Emmanuelle Béart, and Gérard Depardieu.
Jean Paul Rappeneau's Bon Voyage stars Isabelle Adjani, Gérard Depardieu, Virginie Ledoyen, and Peter Coyote about a young man who must choose between a famous actress and an impassioned student.
