Our condo is good and not far from the theatre where we'll see most films. Today we got the festival program and are thrilled at the films that will be here!
A sampling: Lady Bird ( not about Johnson) starring Laurie Medcalf;
Battle of the Sexes starring Emma Stone as Billie Jean King & Steve Carell as Bobby Riggs;
Hostiles staring Christian Bale;
Downsizing with Matt Damon, Kirsten Wiig, Laura Dern, Christoph Waltz;
Loving Vincent -- about Van Gough, which I appreciate after my trip to the Netherlands;
First Reformed with Ethan Hawke.
Some people who will be here include Christian Bale, who will be tributed this year, Ethan Hawke, Angelina Jolie, Emma Stone, the real Billie Jean King, and filmmakers such as France's Ford Coppola, Ken Burns, Alexander Payne.
Normally on Friday we only get to see a film in the evening ( on this kind of pass) but this year they're adding a couple more during the day. Super!
So we're off to a great start. Looks like back to back films so no promises about when I can write again.
( big thunderstorms today-- pouring right now. ).
Here's a picture of the 4 of us this year.
