Description
The Toronto International Film Festival just unveiled its Gala and Special Presentations slate, and it's loaded. We break down the buzziest titles heading to TIFF 51 — from Cristian Mungiu's Palme d'Or winner "Fjord" to Danny Boyle's "Ink," plus new work from Almodóvar, Kore-eda, Chris Rock, and a wave of Cannes and Sundance carryovers. We also talk through the biopics (Stallone's "Rocky," racing legend Gilles Villeneuve), the ensemble comedies, and what this lineup signals for fall festival season heading into Venice and NYFF.
