I'll be seeing 3-4 movies a day from now until Aug 17. I saw three today and I liked all three - I'm not sure that will hold up for the whole festival. I saw Life Itself about Roger Ebert and it was excellent - now I want to read more of his film reviews. I thought his views on life and love and death were interesting. I cried a few times! After that I saw Particle Fever, which was very suspenseful, since I didn't really remember what happened at CERN, and plus it was fun to see people so excited about Physics and working on such huge projects. They found good people to interview. and the final film was called Salt of the Earth about the photographer Sebastião Salgado and was filmed by Wim Wenders. His photographs are amazing and his life story very interesting as well. I do love documentaries.

Tomorrow I see a film from Senegal (Touki Bouki) one from France, by the Dardenne Brothers (Two Days, One Night) and one from Italy called The Special Need.

During the week I will still try to go to my water aerobics class before the films start, but that is probably all I will manage to do.
