I was not going to do a Tribeca wrap up because I just didn't have the time. I still don't but I have been asked repeatedly what the best films I saw at the festival. For those who are curious my list is as follows (and a bunch of these will be on the best of the year list):
LILY- a short film based on a Stephen King Story about a tiger in a boys bathroom
RISE- a glorious short about a young boy who wants to box.
OH YEAH! - a great portrait of Yello and the song that is now part of world culture
SHE DANCES- Steve Zahan and his daughter star as father and daughter who come back together at a dance competition.
HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON- my six year old is still bouncing.
KISSES AND BULLETS is a brief kick in the pants
DEAD LANGUAGE - a lovely opening and wonderful needle drop make this something special
THE WOLF THE FOX AND THE LEOPARD - an ever changing film keeps you off balance and totally connected.
SNOW BEAR one of the most beautiful films you will see al year. Everyone who saw it couldn't stop talking about it.
The final third of DEPECHE MODE M, when the film finally just becomes a concert film it becomes exactly like going to a Depeche Mode concert
IT'S DOROTHY - One of the great films of the year is a look at the Wizard of Oz and why it resonates with generations of people. All films exploring culture should do it this well
A MATTER OF TIME - Eddie Vedder gives a concert to raise money and awareness for epidermolysis bullosa while we get to meet the kids suffering with it. It will crush you to your soul and make you smile.
A SECOND LIFE - a wonderful film about a woman finding her second life during the Paris Olympics. This is why I love the movies.
