The Toronto Film Festival?s City to City sidebar, which spotlights London in eight films, kicked off Thursday with the international premiere of Tom Hardy?s ?London Road.? Rufus Norris adapted the award-winning National Theatre production of the musical by playwright Alecky Blythe and composer Adam Cork about the 2006 Suffolk Strangler murders in Ipswich.
The movie, which was recently selected as the closing-night film of the San Sebastian Festival, received an enthusiastic opening-night reception.
