That´s GREAT!! Thanks for sharing dear Gerfalcon!

And on top of that, our favorite Bad Lieutenant is packing his luggage to visit the Toronto Film Festival too! I guess Herzog was right and Nic´s performance is top-notch. It´s been a while since a film of his was admitted to film festivals... Hope he enjoys his moment under the cinematic sun!

More links to the Venice news (juicy trivia: apparently Herzog and Ferrara could exchange nasty looks at the Italian red carpet... this is gonna be fun!)
