Anne Thompson's blog Thompson on Hollywood - or TOH! - is an industry must-read, now residing within Indiewire.com. She graciously took time out from her beat to list her most-anticipated TIFF doc:
Schmatta: Rags to Riches to Rags (pictured), because Marc Levin (Slam) is an ace filmmaker/reporter/provocateur with a political POV.
Capitalism: A Love Story, because Michael Moore never fails to provoke, educate and entertain. This movie about Wall Street greed couldn't be more timely.
Videocracy, because Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi is a fascinating global powermonger and I want to know more about his media empire. Is it evil?
Good Hair, because Jeff Stilson and Chris Rock explore the nitty-gritty of our culture's warped take on nappy hair.
Neil Young Trunk Show, because I never miss a Jonathan Demme music doc on Young. It's like butter. [This film will screen for free in Yonge Dundas Square on Monday, Sept 14 at 8 pm]
