At the Nordic International Film Festival closing night celebration at Gitano, after the awards ceremony hosted by Sarita Choudhury at the Roxy Cinema, my fellow jury member Craig Difrancia spoke with me about his role as Carmine Persico in Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman, which stars Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Joe Pesci. Craig also told me how important Peter Farrelly’s Green Book was to Viggo Mortensen, Mahershala Ali and Nick Vallelonga, and he noted that Jérémie Guez’s upcoming film The Sound Of Philadelphia is going to be 'epic'. Other members of the jury included Richard Thomas (who is starring opposite Brian Cox and Grantham Coleman in Robert Schenkkan’s The Great Society at the Vivian Beaumont theatre), Adam Schartoff, and David Schwartz.

Director: Onur Tukel Writer: Onur Tukel Starring: Onur Tukel, Jennifer Prediger, Darrill Rosen, Randy Gambill, Josephine Decker, Oona Mekas, Lawrence Michael Levine, Dustin Guy Defa, Adam Schartoff, Heddy Lahmann, Theresa Lu, Jamie Dobie, Thomas J. Buchmueller In a Richard Linklater-esque move, writer-director Onur Tukel uses himself as the vehicle to deliver us into the narrative of Richard's Wedding. We are introduced to Tukel's character -- Tuna -- as he meets up with Alex (Jennifer Prediger). Together the two friends embark upon a journey from Brooklyn into Manhattan and for the next 14 minutes we are treated to a breathless barrage of rapid fire dialogue akin to the screenplays of David Mamet, Woody Allen, Richard Linklater and Neil Labute. This is where Tukel sets the tone for his film, and it is a tone that some (many) will find offensive, borderline racist, self-absorbed, pretentious, negative, cynical, showboating and shocking -- the...
