SFIFF52- SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL 52- THE TIGER'S TAIL - Ireland

Cast: Brendan GLEESON, Kim CATTRALL, Ciaran HINDS, Sinead CUSACK, Sean MCGINLEY, Brian GLEESON.
SHOWTIMES: 4/24 4:30, 4/26 12:00 Castro
The incredible director JOHN BOORMAN (there's those all caps again) who directed (name those films) Deliverance, Hope and Glory, Zardoz (Sean Connary-be still my beating heart) , Point Blank, The General..(oh come on, shall I go on?)
JOHN BOORMAN (ohh, all caps again, think ADDA likes this Director?) expertly channels the Alfred Hitchcock twists and turns great thriller about a sleazy , rich developer who has his face slapped by...well, lots of folks.. including his wife, his son, his secretary, his work, his dreams, his parents, his...oh, you get the idea.
"What ever happened to good old-fashioned, honest corruption?" says the sleezy real estate developer about the 'Celtic Tiger' (boom of Ireland's economy from 1996-2006) gets it's tail pulled by many, many interested folks (bankers, wankers, relatives, ex-relatives, business partners, mums & dads) .
A doppelganger is after the successful developer...but then is the developer really successful? Is everything falling apart? What about those bank accounts, Is there a doppelganger or is the developer going mad over the stress? Is it real or is it...imagined? And what about those reflections in the windows...are they real?
HEY, A good toss in the looney bin will chill him out...all the while, the 'doppelganger' goes after his wife, his accounts, his business, his boat, his cars, well, his life...or is it just imagined?
Expertly filmed and well presented thoughout with believable situations, THE TIGER'S TAIL, jolts and jarrs the viewer at every twist and turn.
HELLO. This is not for those who want a simple and easy linear ride. This film will have you guessing and wondering "WHAT THE HELL?" many times thoughout. (One can sort of hope and predict a happy ending...for that is what will sell the film to a major audience, BUT THE RIDE...OH MY...)
another HIGHLY RECOMMENDED SFIFF FILM - FOUR & 1/2 SPOTLIGHTS.... This will be released, but see it before everyone at the SFIFF52.
BEST LINES:
"Seeing your double means you're gonna die."
"Please don't ravish my hair. It took me 2 hours to get ready. "
"The more homes you build, the more homeless you create. You know, those who can't afford a home just drop out."
"Every success needs a victim."
FOUR 1/2 SPOTLIGHTS....A FILM THAT WILL BE RELEASED & FOR A TRUE TWIST-N-TURN FAN...A MUST SEE!
