4 Movies We Can’t Wait to See at TIFF 2016!
There is nothing we love more than film adaptations of our favourite books. This year, there are 4 book to film adaptations at the Toronto International Film Festival that we can’t wait
The Birth of a Nation, directed by Nate Parker
This film is getting tons of pre-festival buzz and judging by the trailer, it’s going to be an impressive telling of the slave rebellion of 1831. The film is based on the book, The Birth of a Nation: Nat Turner and the Making of a Movement by Nate Parker, who also directed the film.
Brain on Fire, directed by Gerard Barrett
A New York Post journalist (Chloë Grace Moretz) suffering from a rare autoimmune disorder is repeatedly misdiagnosed following a series of violent outbursts and severe amnesia, in Gerard Barrett's adapation of Susannah Cahalan's bestselling memoir, Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness.
Never Ever, directed by Benoit Jacquot
Benoit Jacquot (The School of Flesh, L’Intouchable) adapts The Body Artist, a novella by Don DeLillo, for this tale of a love affair between a self-centred filmmaker and a beautiful body artist.
All Governments Lie: Truth, Deception, and the Spirit of I.F. Stone, directed by Fred Peabody
Vancouver-based filmmaker and TV news veteran, Fred Peabody, explores the life and legacy of the maverick American journalist I.F. Stone. The film is based on the book, “All Governments Lie”: The Life and Times of Rebel Journalist I.F. Stone by Myra MacPherson.
