the lull is nearly over

Clearly I've been on hiatus for a bit due to the pathetic assortment of movies being released in the past few weeks post award season. But the Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) schedule has been released, Cannes opens in just a week now, and the summer movie season is about to begin. Hopefully this coming slew of films can inspire a bit more cinephilia in me. I'm in the preliminary stages of my SIFF schedule, but it's beginning to take shape. Look for my picks in the coming days.
