Best of the Fest
TIFF might have the star power of Matt Damon and Nicole Kidman, but we’ve got auteurs au but.
The 36th edition of the Montreal World Film Festival will screen 430 films from 80 countries, including Louis Bélanger’s much-anticipated fest opener Route 132. Our picks include the world premiere of Pete Smalls is Dead by indie director Alexandre Rockwell (9:30 p.m., August 28), Christine Cristina, the directing début of Italian diva (and Bernardo Bertolucci muse) Stefania Sandrelli, and a master film class taught by French actor Gérard Depardieu (September 6).
See, Montreal Cannes too!
August 26 to September 6, tickets from $10, 514-848-3883, www.ffm-montreal.org
