Abogados en Tribeca
Raul Cimas, reporter de Buenafuente, va ser enviat a New York, al Festival de Cinema de Tribeca, apadrinat (mai millor dit) per Robert DeNiro. Com vam veure dimarts, crec, va intentar parlar amb DeNiro però no va poder apropar-se.
Al programa d’ahir nit (gairebé avui, amb el què va durar i les hores a les què va acabar) l’Andreu va deixar caure què hi havia novetats calentes d’ahir mateix amb Raul Cimas, què veuriem dimarts què bé.
Bé…
De Niro Shy About Talking About Film Fest

By CHRISTY LEMIRE, AP Movie Writer
NEW YORK - Everyone seemed happy to talk at a news conference about the Tribeca Film Festival on Thursday, except for the one person all the reporters were there to see: Robert De Niro.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg was typically happy to talk. Peter Scarlet, the festival’s globe-trotting executive director, was happy to talk. So was producer Jane Rosenthal, who created the festival with De Niro, her Tribeca Films partner, to help lower Manhattan recover economically from the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
But the famously media-shy De Niro did what he’s done in previous years. He made a brief statement, then introduced the mayor, then tried vainly and with a sheepish smile to avoid answering questions — though nearly all of them were addressed to him.
How does De Niro hope to see the festival evolve, now that it’s in its fourth year?
“You never know how things will grow, but I hope it will grow in a positive way. I hope it lasts for a long, long time.”
Does Tribeca need a high-profile acquisition to occur — like “sex, lies and videotape” at Sundance, back when that festival was in its infancy — to really put it on the map?
“It helps. It’s not necessary, but it helps. Jane might have something to say about that …,” he said, trailing off as he walked away from the podium — and drawing good-natured laughter in the process.
With screenings and events scheduled through May 1 in neighborhoods besides Tribeca, is the festival taking over all of New York?
“It might. It’s OK, it’s all in New York.”

But the biggest laughs came when a journalist from Barcelona asked De Niro, in apologetically broken English, to say the Spanish word for lawyer — abogado — on camera. His boss worships the actor, he explained, and is a huge fan of the movie “Cape Fear,” in which De Niro played a recently released rapist who stalks his former defense attorney.
“It’s very important for me,” the reporter explained. “I don’t sleep, I’m flying eight hours. I need this word, please.”
“So what do you want me to do?” De Niro asked, approaching the podium hesitantly.
“Say ‘abogado,’” the man repeated.
“Abogado,” De Niro said.
And that one word drew more applause than anything else that was uttered all morning.
Apa… Una secció del programa del dimarts destripada.
Gràcies al Clan del Terrat per l’ullet.
