IFC News: Farmiga, Sagdiyev, Romano.
By Alison Willmore on 10/30/2006
This week on IFC News:
We're pleased and privileged to have Michael Atkinson joining the site as our DVD columnist. This week he takes on Debra Granik's "Down to the Bone," the film that made Vera Farmiga...well, "famous" is still a little generous. He also covers Francesco Rosi's "Hands Over the City."
Matt Singer interviews Borat Sagdiyev (video! fancy!).
Dan Persons writes about "95 Miles to Go" and the rise of "pack-yer-camcorder" celeb-centric documentary making:
I saw distributors, motivated by star names and low, low budgets, snapping up 90-minute draughts of real-life esoterica better fit for the bonus features of a concert DVD. I saw a new breed of vanity filmmaking gone mobile: Every Holiday Inn a studio! Every personal assistant a de facto documentarian!
R. Emmet Sweeney has all the reasons that "Babel" is this year's "Crash."
Also, reviews of "Borat" and "Volver," and we attempt our first podcast.
