OPEN FILMS FEATURE FILMS - Co-Produced/financed by Mark Tchelistcheff, Conversations with Other Women won the Special Jury Award and Best Actress Award for Helena Bonham Carter at the Tokyo International Film Festival and a great review by Roger Ebert: "Conversations with Other Women" is another of the best films I have seen here. Directed by Hans Canosa, it stars Aaron Eckhart and Helena Bonham Carter in an idea that seems like a stunt and then deepens into the sadness of unrealized love. The stunt is that that entire film has been made in split-screen, so that we are always looking at two pictures. The left is usually occupied by Eckhart, the right by Bonham Carter, although they are free to enter each other's frames and sometimes seem to be standing so close that the frame division is a formality; other characters sometimes enter either frame. They meet at a wedding. She is a "substitute bridesmaid.
