Toronto Film Festival 2004
The 2004 Toronto Film Festival will screen 321 features and short films from 61 countries.
Among the festival’s 100 world premieres are Being Julia, starring Annette Bening and directed by István Szabó; David O. Russell’s comedy i heart huckabees, with Dustin Hoffman and Lily Tomlin as a duo of "existential detectives"; and two biopics: Beyond the Sea, directed by Kevin Spacey, who also stars as 1950s-60s singer and actor Bobby Darin, and Kinsey, which stars Liam Neeson as controversial scientist Alfred Kinsey, who created a furor in the postwar years with his book Sexual Behavior in the Human Male.
Other festival highlights include The Good Woman, an adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s Lady Windermere’s Fan starring Helen Hunt; Jean-Luc Godard’s Notre musique; and a series of films set in South Africa, among them Red Dust, with Oscar-winner Hilary Swank, and the AIDS-themed Yesterday, reportedly the first film to be shot in the Zulu language.
The ten-day Toronto Film Festival begins on September 9.
