Oh, man! I really want to see that! 'Drive' too. Most of the ones I listed I have seen already, but there are a bunch that never came to Sydney...
ReplyDeleteLooks like an awesome lineup! I really wanna see Drive, but it's only playing in Wellington on their closing night. And somehow, I don't think I can con the parentals into driving for six hours on a school night just so I can see a movie :P
ReplyDeleteWe made a rash decision last night and booked flights and tickets to Melancholia, Tiny Furniture, Drive (including the after party) and Another Earth. They are playing Friday 5th to Sunday 7th August. Now I just need to work to afford it. Pretty excited!
ReplyDeleteI really need to make an executive decision quicksmart on when I want to go to MIFF and what to see. I live out in the burbs so its not too difficult for me to get to the city. I missed it last year :( Maybe I'll go see Drive on closing night...
ReplyDeleteWe thought it was too good of an opp. to pass Melancholia and Drive on back-to-back nights. A lot of the other great films I have already seen here in Sydney. Hey, if you get tickets to Drive (they are $90 for the closing film/party), perhaps we can catch up down there :-)
ReplyDeleteErrr...$90 dollars...curse me for choosing to become a poor uni student!
ReplyDeleteI know. It's expensive. I'm not studying any more, but this trip may even break my bank...
