hey romina,

remember last night while at the club, bottle full of bub, i was telling you about the opening film at the toronto after dark film fest?

Let The Right One In is a delicate love story about a bullied blond-haired little boy..... and swedish vampires.



there has been a lot of hype over this film in the past year and after seeing it finally, i can say the attention is well-deserved. we both know how much i love vampire movies but this... this was something else. clever, finespun, visually poignant and wry, with a dash of gore and an elegiac ending that will make your heart ache. its only downfall was the length. at the two hour mark, my legs began to cramp and you could tell the audience was getting shifty. the fact that bloor cinema was PACKED and we were sitting on the balcony at the very back surrounded by hot and sticky people didn't help either.

you must see this film. there was a reason the show was sold out. i heard that some relatively big shot director is going to remake it a la quarantine for north american audiences. absolutely RIDICULOUS. just read the subtitles, people.

see the movie, before it is ruined with a remake.

(vampire)bat crazy,

maria


ps have yet to see twilight... i don't think it will compare to let the right one in at all but i am SO excited to see this thing here. i feel its going to be like what lost boys: the tribe should have been.

p.p.s. martiniboys should hire me.
