*TALKING TRIBECA* The Tribeca Film Festival kicked off Wednesday with the premiere of *Woody Allen*'s new comedy, /Whatever Works,/ starring *Larry David.* Fittingly for Tribeca, it's his first New York-set film after four European excursions.
Among the films worthy of attention: The dark political satire /In the Loop,/ which co-stars *James Gandolfini* as a U.S. general, might be called a modern-day /Dr. Strangelove./ In /Outrage,/*Kirby Dick* (/This Film is Not Rated/) documents secretly gay politicians who oppose gay rights. And Irish playwright *Conor McPherson,* who has won raves for plays filled with hardy drinking and supernatural visitors, has brought the same milieu to the screen in /The Eclipse./ Going to be in Manhattan? The fest runs through May 3. ** --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
