This has been a really good day. First we got up early and saw the 8:30 am screening of Rachel Getting Married at the PalaBiennale. Everyone left stunned by the performance by Anne Hathaway as Kym and by Jonathan Demme's direction. He is definitely back on track with this one. I confidently predict awards in this film's future, despite (or perhaps in spite of) it's not-so-cheerful subject matter.
After that was done, we headed over to the Excelsior for our round table with Evan Rachel Wood. We were all excited and doing a bit of last minute research on IMDb. She walked in looking glamourous, but more importantly, looked like Marilyn Manson's girlfriend, not Lucy from Across the Universe. She was our most engaging speaker of them all and she stayed with us for an hour. Tips for journalists: ask her about Julie Taymor. Apparently Ms. Taymor became something of a surrogate mother to her (we sensed some overbearing mother issues). At any rate, Evan Rachel Wood was very candid and grounded and swore a lot.
I'm trying to remember what happened after that, but not much good if I recall. So let's just leave it at that.
Oh wait, we started watching a series of short documentaries, but the first two were so awful that we left, only to discover that there was a protest over The Hurt Locker going on outside.
