The Directors Showband:"Barney's Version" North American Premiere at TIFF

The film is really well filmed and the screenplay, so well written by Montrealer Michael Konyves,  embodies every emotion that one can feel during a two hour period. 
Paul Giamatti is definitely deserving of an Oscar for his performance as "Barney Panofsky". 



In fact, the entire cast is supremely chosen, they all enhance the novel's characters. And yes, The Directors Showband do appear in several scenes midway through the film. 


The V.I.P. After Party was hosted by Entertainment Tonight Canada


"Barney's Version" is set to open the Vancouver film festival and the Hampton film festival and will then make it's way onto the big screen courtesy of  Sony Pictures Classics (U.S.) and Serendipity Point Films (Canada) . No exact release date has been confirmed. We will keep you informed!

Here is an article written by Mike Cohen of the Montreal Suburban featuring their red carpet experience.
