Closing day Telluride 2013

It is always sad to see the festival come to an end.  I was up till 2 am last night so I missed going to the first film.  We had the festival Labor Day picnic in the park which always has yummy food.  My first film today was Inside Llewyn Davis --- the Coen brothers movie about a folk musician in early 1960s New York--- a character study. T Bone Burnett supplied music.  Interesting performances by Carrie Mulligan, John Goodman & Justin Timberlake.  Oddly, it was not violent!

The last film today was an excellent documentary of JD Salinger.  Absolutely compelling story & information. I highly recommend this one.

Tonight we will have dinner rather than squeeze in another movie.  My list of my favorites yesterday still stand.

So here is the final list of what I saw:
( with one* by the good ones and 2 ** by the best)

All is Lost
A tribute to Redford (clips)
Invisible Woman*
12 years as a slave**

The Past*

Le Maison de la Radio (doc)

Total:16--- a new record! :-)

Until next year...
