Just when I thought it was safe to leave the house again, and that September 11th had passed us by once more, I attended Quelques jours en Septembre at the Toronto International Film Festival this evening. It spans the timeframe of September 5-11th 2001, in Paris and Venice.
Juliette Binoche is lovely as ever, and appeared onstage at the Ryerson Theatre. She has colored her hair blond, which was a bad choice, but at least it was dark in the film.
I had braced myself for another “September 11th” movie, and as the film progressed, I expected it to turn into some kind of conspiracy movie. It was neither. It was just a good story of an unusual family with a mysterious patriarch.
