In case you haven't been paying attention and you've been enjoying the final days of summer, TIFF is coming. Yup, our annual Toronto International Film Festival kicks off on September 8 and brings with it a flurry of celebrity sightings, parties and more caffeine and cocktails than will be consumed for probably the rest of the year. But, if you can't make it to any of the premieres or just can't handle the crowds (we get it) or just want to form your opinions prior to your movie screenings, read the books that inspired the movies first.
Denial: Holocaust History on Trial by Deborah E. Lipstadt
What happens when one writer calls another one of the most dangerous spokespersons for Holocaust denial”? A libel suit like no other. This book follows Lipstadt’s challenge against David Irving for his comments that the Holocaust didn’t happen (oh yeah). Rachel Weisz and Tom Wilkinson star in this based-on-a-true-story flick.
