If you spend 20 frustrating years trying to get your first movie made, only to suddenly find yourself the toast of Oprah and Oscar voters, what do you do next?
For "Precious" screenwriter Geoffrey Fletcher, the answer was easy: You go out and make the oddest movie you could possibly imagine. You never know, after all, when you'll get the chance again.
"I have no idea what people will think of the film," Fletcher conceded of his directorial debut "Violet & Daisy," which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on Thursday. "It is pretty strange."
Even that admission may be an understatement. As it played for the public and distributors Thursday night, "Violet & Daisy" showed itself to be one of the odder genre mash-ups (action, drama, comedy and surrealist art film are several of its modes) to cross the screens at Toronto, or possibly any screen, in a long while.
