Okay, he's good, but that's not what I'm gettin' at...[;)]

Good Vicente Amorim, United Kingdom/Germany
World Premiere
John Halder (Viggo Mortensen) is a good, decent individual with family problems: a neurotic wife, two demanding children and a mother suffering from senile dementia. A literature professor in the 1930s, Halder explores his personal circumstances in a novel advocating compassionate euthanasia. When the book is unexpectedly enlisted by powerful political figures in support of government propaganda, Halder finds his career rising in an optimistic current of nationalism and prosperity. Seemingly inconsequential decisions lead to choices, which lead to more choices...with devastating effect. Directed by Vicente Amorim (The Middle of the World, TIFF 2003), Good also stars Jason Isaacs, Jodie Whittaker, Mark Strong and Gemma Jones.


And knowing what a big fan Viggo is of Canucks (the people, not the hockey team... he's actually a Habs fan), then I'm sure he'll be gracing TIFF's sweltery Red Carpet come early Fall.

Now if only he could make a pit stop in Montreal...

(Hey, Xo... how about weedling an interview out of him in your hometown?... with a side trip to my house, perhaps.... [sly] )
