So, first things first.
Next week I will tell you my opinion about Paolo Sorrentino's The Great Beauty, which I'm finally going to see, but also about the new Woody Allen's film coming out tomorrow: Blue Jasmine.
Moreover I'll have the pleasure to attend Q&A with two amazing screenwriters at the BFI:
Susannah Grant (28 September). Do you remember a certain Erin Brockovich (which gained her both BAFTA and Oscar nominations) Or Pocahontas? Without forgetting the Cinderella story Ever After starring Drew Barrymore, 28 Days, In Her Shoes, and many others.
About her writing process:
"I always have a road map. It is an outline that gets revised as I move along. I start with, "How does this movie start? What's the first scene? What's the scene after that? And I bite off a little piece at a time. It's like climbing a mountain. You can't look at the mountain top, you just have to look at the ridge you're on."
Tony Gilroy (29 September). I'm looking forward for this meeting because of my love for thrillers. He is known for the Bourne films, The Devil's Advocate, Proof of Life, Michael Clayton winning him both BAFTA and Oscar nominations.
Quoting the BFI booklet:
He says the films that inspire him must have "a singular voice. You get some really strong point-of-view all the way through. The more concentrated, consolidated and ballsy that is - those are our best films."
Last, but not least, I leave you with a reading advice. I read many good reviews about Marisha Pessls' new book: Night Film. Here's The New York Times review of it:
