"    There really isn&amp;#039;t enough time in the day to take in all that Telluride has to offer, but I am certainly doing my best. I have just returned from the fabulous annual party hosted by Joseph, Diane, and Sarah Steinberg and the gorgeous New Sheridan Hotel. This late-night bash was the most glamorous highlight of the festival. The legendary Chop House Restaurant catered the party and Chamisal wines were generously flowing (Joe Steinberg owns the winery and often brings out special vintages from his cellar.) Nic Cage, Viggo Mortensen, Carey Mulligan, Helen Mirren, and Jason Reitman were all in attendance. I got to the party a bit late (having come from an 8:45 screening of The Prophet). Today was another exhausting day that began bright and early with an 8:30 am screening of The White Ribbon. What a film to wake up to! This Palme d&amp;#039;Or winner is a maddening, disarming, beautifully shot film about an obscure German farming village where mysterious acts of cruelty and violence occur, eventually tearing the village apart just prior to World War I. It is a real mind-bender and a must-see for 2009. After that unsettling film, I checked out Jane Campion&amp;#039;s Bright Star, which was about the consuming but (unfortunately) unconsummated passion between poet John Keats and his neighbor Fanny Brawne. The film was introduced by the hilarious Paul Schneider, who is incredibly proud to be part of the film, and said there was a ton of fun behind-the-scenes during filming. Following that, I watched a film starring George Clooney, Vera Farmiga and Anna Kendrick, Up in the Air, which was a welcome treat after all the period films I had seen over the past two days. The film played to an oversold audience; in fact several people were turned away. Director Jason Reitman (of Juno fame) gave an entertaining intro to the film and told us it was his most personal work yet, which drew warm applause. I sat next to Joe Morgenstern, film critic from the Wall Street\u2028Journal, who told me that his favorite film thus far is An Education.\u2028Up In the Air let out just before 5pm and I quickly rushed back to my condo to grab an umbrella and poncho and then jumped on a gondola. I headed up to the gorgeous new resort hotel The Capella Telluride in Mountain Village, where the directors of the festival co-hosted an intimate cocktail party with the Italian Film Commission, sponsored by Martini &amp;amp;amp; Rossi.\u2028 This is my last entry from Telluride. I&amp;#039;m packing tonight and then heading to an early screening of Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (directed by Werner Herzog and starring Nic Cage), followed by the treat I&amp;#039;ve been waiting for over the past four days: The Road starring the incredible, handsome Viggo. \u2028 \u2014Clementine Krisinsky "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
