The exquisitely rendered independent dramas and powerfully honest documentaries are all well and good, but what do Wisconsin Film Festival audiences really want to see up on the big screen?
Simple. They want more car chases and more Canadians.
At least, that’s the lesson that festival director Meg Hamel could take away from Friday’s screening of the tongue-in-cheek action comedy “Bon Cop, Bad Cop,” which drew a sold-out crowd of some 1,500 to pack the Orpheum Theatre. Hamel told the crowd that it was the largest for the festival in years.
