IndieWire: The 10 Films We Want to See @ Berlinale 2012
I had to rub my eyes to make sure I wasn’t seeing things, so imagine my surprise when Peter Knegt from IndieWire included Bel Ami in his “must see list”. And LOL Peter *coughgayporncough* – I bet there were a lot of confused girls out there googling Bel Ami back in 2009:
“Bel Ami (Declan Donnellan, Nick Ormerod, UK)
Not to the be confused with the brand of Eastern European gay porn, “Bel Ami” instead stars Robert Pattinson in another attempt to move beyond his “Twilight” fame. The period film adapted from the book by Guy de Maupassant follows a young man’s rise to power in Paris via his manipulation of the city’s most powerful women (Uma Thurman, Kristin Scott Thomas, Christina Ricci). Perhaps the most star-studded offering at the fest, it could be (campy?) fun.”
I guess it won’t be long now until we start seeing more industry type reviews *bitesnails*.
