j.d. salinger but along the way she starts to connect with some of their letters and feel that they may be deserve a better response than that and on the whole i think especially say that the film is a kind of love letter in itself to a bygone era in new york and i have to say you guys are spot on with this comparison about the devil wears prada because it looks exactly like that film we asked about the jury the jury was presented today with some cinema royalty who is in charge. right jeremy irons the british actor is presiding over the jury this year that will be watching the films in competition and selecting the winner for the coveted golden bear or word journey irons great actor big name a bit of an honor to pick this year especially since the valley knowledge is a very political festival and he's an older white guy who said some strangely off color things about women about gay marriage yeah that's certainly something i mean he tried to set the record straight on immediately were at the opening press conference this morning i don't waste it living a kind of shakespearean citic we for w
