Philadelphia Film Festival UPDATE 10/27




After taking Tuesday off from the festival, I returned for one feature on Wednesday evening. At the Ritz East I caught a screening of Orlando Bloom in The Good Doctor. I thoroughly enjoyed the film and was quite shocked by what transpired on screen. Bloom was excellent in the leading role. Here's a brief synopsis of the film:






The Good Doctor revolves around Martin (played by Bloom), a young man early in his medical career. When being a doctor turns out to be far from what he had imagined, a young patient named Diane helps to keep Martin motivated. As time progresses, the friendly doctor-patient relationship transforms into an obsession. Martin begins to the the unthinkable, and it results in a shocking 90 minutes of cinema.




On the slate for tonight (Thursday) are The Artist and Snowtown. The Artist is a black and white, silent film which intends to bring the audience back to the early days of cinema. On the other hand, Snowtown is an Australian film centered around a young boy who unknowingly befriends one of Australia's most notorious serial killers.
