The Toronto International Film Festival, which vies annually with Sundance for the title of Most Important Film Exhibition in North America, wrapped this past weekend, and Paste was there to sample the latest wares from the world's filmmakers. Red carpets were unfurled and appropriately soiled, movies were projected onto silver screens, and viewers were duly exhausted by both pretty pictures and, I'm told, nights on the town.

The last time the Coen brothers adapted a work by a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, the results spoke for themselves in No Country for Old Men. This time, the siblings are mining similar territory via Michael Chabon's recent novel The Yiddish Policeman's Union.
