High on "Telluride": The Official Lineup!

A mere two days into the Venice Film Festival, attention begins to turn to another notable festival. The official lineup for the Telluride Film Festival has just been announced, and there's quite a few notable films playing there. I am, unfortunately, not there to see any of these films, but I may see get a chance to see a few of them later this month at Telluride by the Sea, a showcase of six films that played at the festival, set in local Portsmouth, NH. Hopefully I will get the chance to be there, but I'm not making any promises. Anyway, here's the list of films playing over the weekend, not including the "sneak previews".
