TIFF - Day 1

Today is the first day of TIFF . I am seeing 24 movies during the next 10 days, with the hope of seeing another 3 (the number of shifts I am volunteering for during the festival). I am looking very forward to each and every day, with particular interest in my beloved Danish films (Prague and After the Wedding - starring the fabulous Mads Mikkelson), a variety of Australian films, and of course the offerings from Scottish, English, and Irish cinema. I will try and post some reviews throughout, but I may be too busy actually watching the films! Tonight will be two very different films, with a common thread - life under an oppressive regime: The Wind that Shakes the Barley and The Life of Others.
