Overheard at my desk: “If I had enough money to go to Telluride, I’d go to Paris.”
The Telluride Film Festival is this weekend, and the movie list is pretty good. It should be considering the cost of going and staying there. They even charge for the press pass.
Anyway, they’ve got a movie by Ethan Hawke and one starring him called “Blue Moon,” which is sensational.
Telluride will also debut the Bruce Springsteen movie, “Deliver Me from Nowhere.” Plus Jodie Foster in the all French “A Private Life,” George Clooney in “Jay Kelly,” as well as “Hamnet” and “Hamlet,” two different films. There’s even a documentary made by Cannes Film Festival director Thierry Fremaux!
Looks like fun. But again, for 5,000 minimum I can order groceries this week!
