Asteroid City sees Wes Anderson wrestle with the dynamics of stage and screen. It's a hoot, but his play-within-a-film sort of gets it backwards.
We've cleared off some space on That Shelf for our 100 of our favourite movies of the decade. What are some of our faves from 2012?
What makes director Joe Wright and actress Kiera Knightley's latest collaboration on Tolstoy's Anna Karenina somewhat startling is the fact that it’s an oddball self-conscious, almost Brechtian experience in audience alienation as well (apologies for getting pretentious, but it’s the kind of movie that requires that sort of talk).
Day two of our TIFF 2012 coverage rolls on with looks at Anna Karenina, The Iceman, Antiviral, No, Amour, The Sapphires, Pusher, The Secret Disco Revolution, and What Richard Did.
