‘Midnight at the Paradise’ is a Love Letter to Film, Music, and the City of Toronto
'Midnight at the Paradise' premieres tomorrow at Toronto's Paradise Theatre! I had the pleasure to sit down with Vanessa Matsui to discuss the making of this film.
Pakaram
Tapu, young boy of 10-11 years is born with a knack for seeing, believing and perceiving things unlike many and has the potential to depict them through his creativity. When lost in his own world, he is often oblivious to what the present demands from him. Raja, his close friend shares Tapu's interests but not with the same intensity. Raja's father disapproves of Raja and Tapu's friendship and decides to send his son to a town school for better education. Shantu, a so called mentally challenged person, gradually starts to share a special bond with Tapu after Raja leaves. Raja, on the other hand, feels crippled and isolated in his new surrounding and his growing impatience forces his father to bring him back home. As fate would have it, their friendship soars high and gets set to touch a new horizon.

Caught Stealing : A Blood-Soaked, Laugh-Out-Loud Noir
Darren Aronofsky’s Caught Stealing is a gritty, darkly funny thrill ride through 1998 New York, with Austin Butler delivering a raw, magnetic turn as Hank Thompson—a washed-up ex-ballplayer turned bartender whose life implodes after cat-sitting for his punk neighbor drags him into a violent underworld of gangsters, crooked cops, and chaos. Brutal yet unexpectedly hilarious, the film blends noir grit with midnight-movie absurdity, proving Aronofsky can reinvent himself while Butler cements his status as a true movie star.
