The Toronto Film Festival brought some novelties that arouse pleasure in Czech film fans as well. Also a lot of gossip, whispering, and provocative clothing. What was the most interesting thing to see and hear at the film festival?
Emily Blunt had the utmost elegance
Is it elegant, or too much? Emily Blunt introduced the movie Thresher (2025), which will premiere in our cinemas on 11.13.2025.
Since the main star of the film Dwayne Johnson, caught most attention, his acting colleague, Emily Blunt, left nothing to chance. She chose a all-black outfit, topped with a bare top.
A barely visible bra had a sharp cut at the bottom, which covered just right. The lace and mesh part covering the belly seamlessly transitioned to elegant trousers. The back hid a surprise. Only black horizontal and crossing straps. Her colleagues were also charmed by her back.
She had a charming pink dress from Valentino with a gently ruffled front, subtly moving to the bare back. Scarlet Johansson was celebrating her directorial debut at the premiere of the film Eleonora The Great. This film earned a five-minute standing ovation in May at the Cannes festival . No wonder, real survivors were cast in the film with a holocaust theme.
In Toronto, she had a beautiful dress, but on her back, she brilliantly showed off an huge tattoo in the style of a thorny rose crown, which irritated some fans.
"Such tattoos ruin everyone's appearance. It doesn't matter how good you otherwise look,"
so sounded the grim comments and in the survey super.cz more than 64% of readers agreed, that the tattoo explicitly spoils the actress's princess-like appearance.
The new "Glass Onion" was filmed in London and apparently surpasses the previous two parts of Knives Out (Glass Onion). This time we descend from the world of snobs and luxury, and Daniel Craig as detective Benoit Blanc finds himself in the middle of a religious New York community.
A murder will not be long in coming. On Netflix in our country, we will see Knives Out: Awakening of the Dead Man on December 12, 2025.
At the festival, Daniel Craig also addressed the question, whether this is his last role of Benoit Blanc.
Daniel Craig joked:
"Who told you that?"
If there is another movie, a quality script, he's in!
"How lucky am I to be able to play something like this?"
he said and recalled that even by playing James Bond it was a great fortune that he did not stay in the box and can play the famous detective of a slightly different kind than the one in the queen's service.
Matthew McConaughey returned to the big movie screens after an incredible six years. We will see Bus of Hope (2025) on AppleTV+ from October 3, 2025, in our country.
It promises a grand spectacle, moreover based on true events. In 2018, a fire engulfed California and the story of a school bus driver saving children and himself comes alive on the film screen. The Toronto festival brought a fundamental revelation. McConaughey's son Levi (17) also stars in the film, having passed the casting incognito. He thus proved his talent. When his real name was later revealed, he reportedly only heard "all the better!"
The audience was literally captivated by the historical drama Nuremberg (2025). Crowe plays the role of the disreputably famous German Nazi leader Hermann Göring, while Malek portrays a US Army psychiatrist Douglas Kelley, who is tasked with investigating him and other Nazi prisoners.
"Many films were made about the Second World War, but not many after the war,"
said the film's director, James Vanderbilt to Reuters on the red carpet premiere at the International Film Festival in Toronto.
The film will appear in our cinemas on January 15, 2026 and promises a perfect experience with refined historical facts.
The Toronto Film Festival also had Czech representation. On the red carpet shone Anna Geislerová.
She came to present the movie drama & Sons, which was directed by Pablo Trapero. The Czech actress starred in the film aside from such stars as Dominic West, Bill Nighy or Johnny Flynn. The movie received positive reviews, as well as the elegant dress that the Czech star had on. Moreover, she is one of the few stars who really knows how to international film festivals. She shone this year also in Venice.
