    This makes me even more excited to finally get to be able to watch it myself! p.s. Previous topic on the trailer, for those interested in seeing it.

    if you go to VFF, it seems you spend a large amount of your time doing standing O’s. Worthy folks, though.

      At a lot of film festivals its pretty common to have long standing ovations. Elvis got a standing ovation for 12 minutes. There’s an element of “we love cinema” going on there, as well as a level of politeness. Also some of the people there are drunk. So there’s that.

        12 minutes is too long. After a minute I wouldn't know what to do.

        Not to diminish this ovation, but I'm sure 2 years of COVID restrictions finally ending has everyone extra-enthused as well. At least, I know I am certainly feeling that way for the upcoming TIFF.

          This is more of a return to normal I’d say. I think last years Cannes was the “we’ve been cooped up for too long” with Annette’s standing ovation.
