DAY 10: SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER
|
|
Day Ten of SIFF 2012 brings emotionally charged docs (The Invisible War), encore screenings of recent favorites (Any Day Now, King Curling, Paul Williams Still Alive) and a very special Saturday Gala screening of the comedy
As Luck Would Have It
directed by Spanish provocateur Álex de la Iglesia and starring the iconic Salma Hayek. The film is a spot-on satire of the modern media circus and the lengths to which people will go to be part of it.
