Convergence Zone
Take "Snow White," cross it with "Romeo and Juliet," set it in the kingdoms of feudal China, make it a musical spanning every style there is, and direct it through the haze of a peyote-laced fever dream. This just begins to describe the experience of watching "Princess Raccoon," the latest film from 85-year-old cult director Seijun Suzuki. It may not be my favorite movie of SIFF 2006, but if I see anything more creative and memorable in the next three weeks I will be truly shocked.
