BIFF26 Derek vs Derek
(M)
What happens when your neighbour goes completely wild? Derek vs Derek is a funny, insightful and heartwarming documentary that charts the turbulent relationship between two farmers. On a country road in Devon live two ideologically opposed neighbouring farmers - both called Derek. Derek Banbury believes in the intensive farming of his land, while Derek Gow is focused on creating a "rewilding" oasis for nature and wildlife on his land. Shot over three years, Derek vs Derek wonderfully juxtaposes the two wholly opposing approaches to farming, as tempers fray, wild animals run amok, and the land is radically transformed. The two Dereks' story will at turns amuse, entertain and provoke thought about environmental issues and the future of farming. Award-winning director James Dawson celebrates the potential for understanding in this wonderful film about land use and farming, told by farmers. Packed to the brim with English humour, Derek vs Derek is essential viewing.
BIFF26 A Talent for Murder
(M)
British national treasure Helen Mirren plays The Talented Mr. Ripley author Patricia Highsmith in this deeply intriguing thriller. A Talent for Murder takes place in 1995, with Highsmith now in her seventies - and in poor health. Retired to her secluded house in the Swiss Alps, the author keeps to her study, immersed in her books, accompanied by her cats, and surrounded by a collection of antique weapons. Highsmith's solitude is interrupted by the arrival of Edward Ridgeway (recent Tony-winner Alden Ehrenreich), a mysterious messenger from a New York publisher, sent to persuade the author to write one final instalment of the Ripley anthology. Aggravated by the unexpected visit from this youthful, overly eager envoy, Patricia declines the offer. That is, unless Ridgeway can help her in conjuring up the perfect murder story. Mirren embodies the wickedly manipulative author with gusto, while Ehrenreich imbues Ridgeway with enough guile to keep us guessing at his motives. From director Anton Corbijn (Control), A Talent for Murder is replete with brilliant twists, biting dialogue, and delicious entanglements. Direct from its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, don't miss this highly anticipated thriller!
