It's hard to believe that Berlin is right around the corner, but we kick off this week by looking at the Euro fest's announced Jury President, M. Night Shyamalan, and what movies might be in the mix to compete for the Golden Bear. Then it's a visit to a local fest: Cullen has seen several virtual screenings at the Chicago Film Festival and he details the lows and highs. Finally, we ponder Todd Haynes and his new music documentary THE VELVET UNDERGROUND, getting into the sights, the sounds, and the writing credits of the former Palme D'Ollie winner's first foray into the world of documentaries.
