Letter from Toronto: Coppola’s Twixt Is Stubborn Old-Coot Filmmaking; Stillman’s Damsels Hardly Dazzles

Francis Ford Coppola’s Twixt is kind of stupid and kind of amazing, a horror movie-fairytale hybrid with an inscrutable plot, some gorgeous images and two brief sections shot in 3-D. This isn’t the great film Coppola’s devotees have been waiting for him to make. But it’s infused with more of Coppola’s spirit, as we know it, than Youth Without Youth and Tetro , both of which were sluggish and self-serious. Twixt is a bit of a mess, but it’s also joyful and wicked, with a great, roly-poly sense of humor about itself. In its imaginative WTF -ness, it reminds me of Bob Dylan’s gloriously whacked-out Masked and Anonymous , just the sort of thing you’d expect a crackpot genius left to his own devices to make.

Letter from Toronto: Woody Harrelson Disarms in Rampart; Sokurov Gets Wiggy with Faust

Occasionally, a movie is more interesting for where it doesn’t go than for where it does. Oren Moverman’s Rampart , starring Woody Harrelson as a disgraced (and obviously dirty) LAPD cop, is one of those pictures. It’s more of a character study than a conventionally shaped drama — I was taken aback when the end credits started rolling, momentarily left with that “Is that all there is?” feeling. But the more I thought about it, the more it seemed that the movie ended in just the right place, taking us as far as we can go with this loose-cannon cop before he’s left to face his own isolation. Once we, the audience, part ways with him, he’s truly on his own.

VIDEO: Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis Reunite to Talk 20 Years of Thelma and Louise

This is one where it’s probably just to do a quick intro and get out of the way: To commemorate the 20th anniversary of their post-feminist partners-in-crime road trip Thelma and Louise , co-stars Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis dropped by Toronto’s shimmering Bell Lightbox for a special screening and discussion with Toronto International Film Festival honcho Noah Cowan. The fest’s YouTube page put just about 100 seconds of the Oscar winners’ chat online; here’s hoping for there is more where that came from. Check it out:
