New Cinema Wallpaper of the Day

I did see Ang Lee rather briefly walking by at one point at Cannes but somehow managed to miss this his latest effort, Taking Woodstock (official site). The lines to get into most of its screening seemed to go on and on and on forever. I’d probably have had to wait in line at least 3-4 hours beforehand if I’d have caught it there!

Tomorrow (Sunday) is your last chance to catch this film at TIFF this year. It just won Venice (read more) by surprise. I think everyone had written it off due to the mixed word of mouth. I have to wonder if the US release will feature a “Jackass” type of warning before the movie warning audiences to “Please do not try these gymnastic sexual positions depicted in this film. They are extremely complicated and require skills that only advanced ninjas of sex possess. And please for the love of God do not try the handstand position.” The film to me seems from the initial reports that it could be a Ang Lee love letter to Wong Kar-wai films – Ang Lee’s sensibilities inducing the tumbling romantic avenues of Wong Kar-wai’s cinema with a lush and sincere cover song.
