Chicago Reader. CIFF.

"Discerning a point of view or critical agenda behind the [Chicago International Film Festival] lineup this year - or any year - is virtually impossible," writes Jonathan Rosenbaum, introducing the Chicago Reader's offer of "a little critical guidance based on the films we've seen at the Toronto International Film Festival and elsewhere this year." Also, Pat Graham looks back on highlights of CIFFs past.

Keep an eye, too, on the Chicagoist's "Movies" category, where Rob Christopher will be posting dispatches.

Update, 10/6: Nick Davis is blogging from the festival as well.
