I've been hugging myself practically all weekend. I've capped days and early evenings of good movies off by dj'ing and karaoke hosting late shows all weekend, right square in the middle of Toronto's entertainment district, which for 11 days comes alive with movie stars, screens almost 300 films, gets clogged with stargazers, while press and paparazzi types weave their way through it all like naked mole rats.
Movies and singing; they're the things that give me the greatest sense of communion with others.
The sweet & lowdown: "12 Years a Slave", "Gravity", "Prisoners" and "Dallas Buyers Club" are hot, "The Fifth Estate" is not, and Jason Bateman's directing debut "Bad Words" and "Once" director John Carney's "Can a Song Save Your Life?" got bought. The brutal new Steve McQueen drama starring Chiwetel Ejiofor and Brad Pitt opened to rave reviews. I'll be catching it later this week, along with Denis Villeneuve's English language debut "Prisoners", starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Hugh Jackman. I've got the new space drama "Gravity" on the docket for Monday. All three look to carry a bounce into Oscar season.
In the biggest deal in a couple years at Toronto, the Weinsteins bought the new John Carney folk-rock drama starring Mark Ruffalo and Keira Knightley for $7 million. Carney's "Once" was a festival circuit smash hit 6 years ago, and his new "Can a Song Save Your Life?" opened to a very warm reception up here. I've got it penciled into my schedule in a couple days. Focus Features picked up the new Jason Bateman dark spelling-bee comedy "Bad Words", about a man who finds a loophole in a local competition and figures to win the prize from kids.
As for the movies I have seen, it's "Monster" meets "Milk" in the awe-inspiring "Dallas Buyers Club", starring a rail-thin Matthew McConaughey in the role of his career in the real-life account of Ron Woodroof, the degenerate, homophobic Texas redneck electrician-diagnosed in 1985 with full-blown AIDS-who takes on the pharmaceutical companies and the government in order to secure life-extending medication from outside the United States.
A kind of disquieting collective gasp could be felt all through the jam-packed Elgin Theater the first time we lay eyes on McConaughey's character, 40-some-odd pounds lighter than usual. You may have seen the pictures of his weight loss a few months ago when they first surfaced. Like Charlize Theron's transformation as Aileen Wuornos, McConaughey is uncanny here in the way he appears to be utilizing the whole of his being, from body to soul, as an instrument to channel and play a character so dynamic and inspired, I forgot I was watching McConaughey. It's the pinnacle of the hottest streak the actor's been on in his career, having appeared in "Killer Joe", "Bernie", "Magic Mike", and "Mud" in the last year alone.
