Film Festival update: I went to see High Fidelity tonight. It was great; quite faithful to the spirit of the book, loaded with acute observations about life, relationships and music, and a good dose of irony, humour and pop-culture references. As in the novel, I could identify with it a lot. I definitely don't rule out seeing it again.

(I also saw Janice Beard, 45WPM, an uncharacteristically weak British comedy, tonight, though the less said about that the better.)

One film I didn't see during the festival (due to having underestimated demand and not having booked a ticket) is The Virgin Suicides, though it will go on general release in a week or two, and I intend to see it then.
