The Best Local Movie at SIFF 2006

Posted by CHRISTOPHER FRIZZELLE on June 15 at 16:59 PM

For tonight, Annie Wagner suggests:

‘Walking to Werner’
(SIFF FILM) Directed by Linas Phillips, Walking to Werner is a documentary about walking on foot from Seattle to Bavarian filmmaker Werner Herzog’s house in L.A. It’s full of eccentric characters, bank-shot spirituality, and best of all, voiceover from Herzog himself, hilariously repurposed from DVD commentary tracks. It’s the best local movie at SIFF 2006. (SIFF at the Neptune, 1303 NE 45th St, 324-9996. 6:30 pm, $10.)

Um, what about Heart of the Game?

Roosevelt High School - kind of local, don't you think?

Open this weekend!

Sure, I count The Heart of the Game as local. And it's awesome--everybody go see it! I like We Go Way Back too. But I've gotta stand by Walking to Werner: best local film at SIFF. It's astoundingly inventive in subject matter and technique, and the risks totally pay off.
