More picks for this year's WIFF

Here are my remaining picks for films at WIFF, which opened yesterday and continues until Sunday Nov. 6:

Farewell Mr. Haffmann - I have grown weary of WW II movies but France's foremost actor Daniel Auteuil brings me back; EO - a donkey with human characteristics, based on a Robert Bresson film, based in turn on a Dostoyevsky novel and directed by a Pole - sign me up; Subject - documentaries abound, and abound, and abound (how about one on the inventor of the pencil; maybe it already exists!) . But what about the ethics of exposing someone’s life to the camera's bright eye?; Corsage - an impassioned tale of a female imprisoned in a royal gilded cage;  Black Box - investigative intrigue exposing corruption in the wake of monstrous tragedy, sounds like a taut thriller; Zero Fucks Given - the fuselage curtain is pulled back on the world of flight attendants as portrayed by an especially ambitious one; I Didn't See You There - how the "able-bodied" community, despite best intentions, is so oblivious to the plight of  the disabled - ‘ride in my wheelchair for one day, will ya?’; Holy Spider - more relevant than ever given the recent controversial death of Mahsa Amini in Iran, sparking protests worldwide and we can only hope, but don't hold your breath, the downfall of the Mullahs; Spin Me Round - a "wacky comedy of errors" set in wine and sun-soaked Tuscany - why, of course!; The Lost King - English stalwarts Sally Hawkins and Steve Coogan combine in this offbeat drama, Coogan alone is always worth the price;  Mau - a doc on the famous Canadian fashion designer Bruce Mau - you didn't know he was Canadian?; Lost Illusions - based on the Balzac novel it’s about the seething world of poets, writers, journalists  in the harsh salons of 19th Century Paris - delicious!; Decision to Leave - this Korean noir whodunnit, complex and sizzling, sounds like a winner; Hunt - also from Korea, an espionage thriller pitting the two Cold War Korea's against one another......And don't forget the various WIFF local shorts series made by area filmmakers and the always popular Mark Boscariol 48-Hour Flickfest, the 48-hours-to-make-a-movie marathon.
