Her knowledge and insight about cinema, past and present, is a veritable treasure trove of film history and culture. And we’re extremely proud to have her on Arts Express, as our correspondent reporting from Cannes this year.
One of the films Professor Insdorf will be covering, is actress turned director Jodie Foster’s The Beaver. Which stars Mel Gibson as an emotionally disturbed family man and Foster’s spouse, who seeks salvation via the talking puppet in question.
