The Globe and Mail’s arts writers share their thoughts on the biggest moments at this year’s festival
Australian director Craig Gillespie arrives for the premiere of Dumb Money at the Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto on Sept. 8., a crowd-pleasing comedic drama about small-time investors who stymied Wall Street, director Craig Gillespie was asked which scene he thought might have received the biggest laugh at a press screening. “The scene where Seth Rogen wipes off his makeup?” he guessed.
Luckily, the lineup for the Q&A included two living witnesses to the work of Irena Gut, the subject of the film. During the war, she rescued a dozen Polish Jews by hiding them in the cellar of the German officer’s house where she worked. Gut died in 2003 but her daughter was present to speak to the film’s relevance as a statement of resistance to authoritarianism.
