It’s hard to believe that it’s been half a decade since Sarah Polley made her feature-length directorial debut with 2006’s Away from Her, an adaptation of the Alice Munro short story “The Bear Came Over the Mountain.” Her new film, Take This Waltz, is the story of Margot (Michelle Williams) trying her darndest not to get seduced away from her stolid cookbook author of a husband Lou (Seth Rogen) by her neighbour Daniel (Luke Kirby), who, judging from the clip above, drives a rickshaw. The TIFF programmer’s note explains that despite their best intentions, “the sweltering Toronto summer has a way of making certain desires more urgent.” In the Mood for Love meets Little Italy? Yes please.
