My secret hope and wish has come true: A Dangerous Method and Shame, both starring Michael Fassbender, are playing at the Toronto International Film Festival this year!
TIFF released their first fifty films today (of what I imagine will probably be over 300 total) and already I’m excited by a bunch of stuff on the list, including: Albert Nobbs, Anonymous, Coriolanus, Drive, Take This Waltz, and We Need To Talk About Kevin.
A Dangerous Method is part of the Gala program, so I will probably try to see it at one of the non-Gala screenings; I went to the gala screening for Across The Universe four years ago and there was no Q&A, which I gather is typical of the galas, so I don’t much see the point in attending that just to see Fassbender, Viggo Mortensen, and Kiera Knightley wave from the stage. Shame is in the Special Presentation program where I’ve usually had very good luck with Q&As, so I’ll definitely be trying to get tickets to whenever the evening screening of that one is.
If they announce Soderbergh’s Haywire in the next round of titles, I might just lose my mind. Consider this the start of Fassbender Fall!
