Our 8:30 film this morning was Glenn Close in Albert Nobbs in which she plays a man. She & director were present to introduce it then stayed for a Q & A with Leonard Maltin (who really liked the movie). It was really well done; something that most everyone will enjoy. Quite a study of character and identity. In the Q & A she & director shared with us the journey (more than 20 yrs) to make this film. Close had played the character off Broadway many years ago & always wanted to make it into a film. (Turns out she was at our brunch yesterday but we didn't know it).
Michelle read the below blog about the festival, if you want to know more:

The author says that Clooney's Ides of March was supposed to be shown but a snafu prevented in. Too bad.
Jennifer Garner is here in a new movie we'll see tonight. We didn't see her yet. Would be cool if she brings her husband. . . Hope to get in 2-3 more movies today.
Ran into the gal who had been my student when I taught junior high English a hundred years ago. She lives in San Jose & 2 years ago she came up to me at Telluride & said "I know you." Fun to see her again. Gotta go o next movie now.
