Carnage…

How often does one get to watch a movie in the presence of its director?  


I figure…not that often!

Sometimes movies that premiere in Paris will be screened in the presence of the actors or the director (especially at the theater where I usually watch movies).  So when I saw that Roman Polanski was going to be present at one of the screenings of his new film, I decided that I shouldn’t miss it!  The theater was packed – more than 400 people were seated around me.  He came out to applause, spoke a few words in French, and then the movie began.  I was so concerned with getting a good seat for the movie that I ended up quite far away from where he was standing, so my pictures did not turn out as clearly as I would have hoped.  But, wow!  I don’t think I’ve ever heard of such an opportunity to do something like that back home!


I love the movie poster!

The man himself, interpreted as a blur...

Very impressionistic...
I've got to figure out the settings on my camera!


Oh, well.  In the meantime...
Lights, camera, action!

Vive le cinéma
