‘Redacted’ set to show at NY Festival

Ouch, these guys don't seem to have much good to say about it.  Looks like we should be getting some good solid reviews soon, though.  Also appears to have a release from Magnolia on Dec. 14.  Just in time for Christmas! Um, yeah.

"How could these boys have gone so wrong?" De Palma asks again in his director's statement for "Redacted." In order to get at answers to that question (which is also posed by writer/director in the Iraq-themed "In the Valley of Elah"), De Palma pored over soldier's home made war videos and blogs, surfed their Web sites and YouTube postings. "Redacted," which refers to documents and images that have been cleansed of sensitive information, is De Palma's attempt to restore to documentation of the Iraq War what has been taken out.

Winner of the Silver Lion award for best director at the Venice Film Festival, "Redacted" will be screened at the New York Film Festival on Oct. 10 at 6 P.M. and Oct. 11 at 9 P.M., at the Frederick P. Rose Hall at Broadway and 60th Street.
