TIFF TUESDAY 2014 #2

It's Tuesday, which means that I get to share two movies that I'd like to see at TIFF 2014 with you.

What We Do In The Shadows

This film was written by Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement (Eagle vs. Shark, Boy) and is based on a short film they made in 2005.  The film is about a group of vampires that live together and are the subject of a documentary. 

It looks incredibly funny and my new favourite thing to say now is, "We're werewolves, not swearwolves."

The Duke of Burgundy

The synopsis on the website says:

"British filmmaker Peter Strickland follows his eerie Festival hit Berberian Sound Studio with this dark melodrama about an amateur butterfly expert whose wayward desires test her lover's tolerance." 

So why do I want to see this film?  Well, for starters I loved Berberian Sound Studio and am excited to see Peter Strickland's follow up.  Also, Ben Wheatley is the producer of this film.

Ben Wheatley is the director of films such as Kill List, Sightseers (a favourite of mine from the 2012 festival), and A Field in England.
