The selection included 275 mid- to feature-length films, of which 234 were premieres, with 71 by first-time directors. The festival was attended by members of the industry, press and general public. It opened with the world premiere of Jeremy Podeswa's ''Fugitive Pieces'', a film based on the international bestselling novel by Anne Michaels, and closed with Paolo Barzman's ''Emotional Arithmetic''. ==Film reception== Critical favourites included ''No Country for Old Men'', ''The Diving Bell and the Butterfly'' and ''4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days'' which were equally well received at the Cannes Film Festival, plus the Joy Division biopic ''Control'' which, along with the eponymously titled documentary on the band, ''Joy Division'', was picked up by The Weinstein Company. Peter Howell of the Toronto Star named Sidney Lumet's ''Before the Devil Knows You're Dead'' a major Oscar contender. The audience favourite, David Cronenberg's ''Eastern Promises'', won the top prize at the festival. The New York Times pointed out that two previous winners had gone on to win Best Picture Oscars.〔Best Picture winners ''American Beauty'' and ''Chariots of Fire'' had both previously won the People's Choice Award. 〕 Highly discussed but divisive films among the public and critics include comedies ''Juno'' and ''Margot at the Wedding'', the Bob Dylan biopic ''I'm Not There'' and Brian De Palma's Iraq War documentary ''Redacted''. Films expected to stir controversy for their transgressive sexual content, such as Ang Lee's ''Lust, Caution'', Alan Ball's ''Nothing Is Private'' and Martin Gero's ''Young People Fucking'', did divide audiences but without fanfare. The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford and Across the Universe both won their share of supporters despite previous reports of shooting delays and director-studio clashes.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2007 Toronto International Film Festival」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
