The first thing I saw when my cab pulled up to Blowfish Restaurant on King Street West for the Words and Pictures TIFF pre-party was Juliette Binoche, a vision in noir charming the cameras outside. With a chic, cropped hair cut and immaculate, glowing skin, she looked every bit the movie star, even if the September air was a tad balmy for her stunning full-length fur coat—the French actress later revealed that it was vintage Lanvin, her sheer, black gown Chanel.

Arriving before Binoche, who had just flown in from Germany, was her co-star Clive Owen, sporting a perfectly-fitted suit and what can only be described as the most attractive moustache ever. The rakish Brit nibbled on sushi and sipped Moët & Chandon on a banquet at the back of the restaurant but when Binoche made her entrance, he rose to greet her with a warm hug and peck on the cheek. The two showed they are clearly more than just co-stars, sitting next to each other and catching up with director Fred Schepisi. While both actors spent the evening chatting and posing for photos with their admirers, their co-star David Negahban of Homeland fame also had a large following of impassioned fans.
