Anyway, Sarah Polley is what you would get if you went all Otto Hahn on coolness and split it down into its awesomest core. So y'all should check out this interview in the NY Times if you haven't already. Choice quote:
"I think we have a really hard time culturally with what happens to love after the first year. It is difficult, and it is painful, and it is a letdown,” said Ms. Polley, who married in 2003. “That first year is so much less profound than what happens when you’re actually left with each other and yourself in an honest way. It was interesting to me to make a film about what love looked like after life had gotten in the way, and what remained."

I do hope Polley doesn't quit acting altogether, though. I'd miss her something awful.

Wow this seems like it might be wonderful. Bravo for Polly. I remember listening to NPR and the commentator mentioned how awful that Daokota-Fanning-gets-raped-movie. Then he said how pleasntly surprised he was at discovering Polly's movie. I think this was at Sundance.

i hope she doesn't quit acting either but this movie is a very good sign that she has a lot to offer as a director, too.
julie christie is AMAZING
SO YOU SAW IT????
More more, I want more info! The bf and I are seeing it Sat afternoon, probs, after Spider-Man... interesting double-feature, that.
Oh, Ja, this post makes me very happy. Yes, Sarah Polley is an amazing person. I just love the woman. For some reason, I identified with her the first moment I saw her on screen. She's intelligent and also has a lot of heart, so to speak. I admire her for not falling victim to the lures of the Hollywood system.
