Telluride 2013
THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE UGLY
really, really good/great films. They made my day:
All Is Lost
I wasn’t sure how much I would enjoy a film with no dialogue set in the
middle of the Indian Ocean, but having just seen the tribute to Robert
Redford (what an inspiring yet down-to-earth man!) I hoped his latest film
would live up to it’s hype. It did. This is a totally engrossing story by
the director of Margin Call (if you haven’t yet seen this movie, add it to
your Netflix list now). A lone sailor becomes lost at sea after his
sailboat is mortally wounded by an errant metal container. His struggle,
despite overwhelming odds, to survive kept me on the edge of my seat.
Academy Award nominations are sure to follow.
