Marshall Fine: Live from the Karlovy Vary Film Festival: Tuesday, July 2 and wrap-up
Posted in: Today's Chili
My final full day in Karlovy Vary was another beauty, weather-wise, and a strong one, movie-wise, though the films themselves were pretty downbeat.
It also included the third time in five days when a film suffered from an English-subtitle malfunction – the second where it wasn’t corrected. My last film of the day was Francois Ozon’s Jeune et Jolie (Young and Beautiful), a kind of coming-of-age version of Belle de Jour, starring the gorgeous Marine Vacth. About 45 minutes into the film, the English subtitles suddenly cut out – and because it was the last press screening of the day, the volunteers who stood outside the screening rooms (and swiftly dealt with the problem the other times) had left for the day. So did I. Talk about cinema interruptus.
