When Danny Boyle previewed his new film "127 Hours" at the Telluride Film Festival last week ahead of its big unveiling at Toronto, it was as a thank you to the organizers for the early support they gave "Slumdog Millionaire" two years before.
Audiences turned out to be just as grateful. The survival drama stars James Franco as mountaineer Aron Ralston, who managed to free himself after being trapped by a boulder in a Utah canyon for five days by severing his own arm.
The experience is not just another kinetic work from Boyle, it's an especially intense one: a viewer in the very first screening required medical attention before the film was over.
