Construction of hotels in Bali, especially in Denpasar and Kuta area, is unstoppable. Small and large hotels appear in numbers. Unfortunately, they lack of Balinese architecture and ornaments.
OTTAWA - The upcoming Toronto film festival will showcase a “big year” for Reese Witherspoon, James Gandolfini’s final movie and Oscar-bait performances from several major Hollywood stars, organizers said Tuesday.

More than 300 feature films will be screened at the 39th Toronto International Film Festival, which runs from September 4 to 14. The event has traditionally been key for Oscar-conscious studios and distributors, attracting hundreds of filmmakers and actors to the red carpet in Canada’s largest city. Last year, Steve McQueen’s “12 Years a Slave” won the audience prize for best picture, before going on to win three Oscars including the coveted statuette for best picture. In presenting this year’s line-up, festival boss Cameron Bailey told a press conference in Toronto that fans of Witherspoon should be ready for a “big year” from the Oscar winner. The 38-year-old Witherspoon has
been one of Hollywood’s highest-paid and most bankable box office draws since her breakout starring turn in the 2001 comedy “Legally Blonde.” But she failed to gain credibility as a serious actress until her 2006 Oscar win for her turn as singer June Carter Cash -- the wife of superstar Johnny Cash -- in James Mangold’s biopic “Walk the Line.” In September, Toronto audiences will have an opportunity to see her again in two new films: “The Good Lie” about an American woman who takes in a Sudanese refugee, and “Wild,” the film adaptation of Cheryl Strayed’s bestselling memoir. “Wild” is directed
by Jean-Marc Vallee, whose previous feature, “Dallas Buyers Club” began its journey to Oscar success in Toronto last year. James Gandolfini makes a posthumous return to movie screens in the gangland tale “The Drop,” shot just before his death in June 2013. His penultimate film “Enough Said,” a romantic comedy co-starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus, was warmly received in Toronto last year.

Regulation indecisive
Hotel proliferates, lacking of Balinese ornaments Bali Post
DENPASAR - Construction of hotels in Bali, especially in Denpasar and Kuta area, is unstoppable. Small and large hotels appear in numbers. Unfortunately, they lack of Balinese architecture and ornaments. On that account, the building does not reflect the atmosphere of Bali.

According to Made Suardana, who has long been getting involved in architecture, said on Monday (Jul 21) there were some things causing investors or contractors to be reluctant to give Balinese ornaments in their products, such as the absence of strict rules, including sanctions when they violated. In addition, the architects were not creative whereas Balinese style could be combined with modern elements. Another cause was glued to raw materials. “When people are talking about Balinese architectural
style, they just refer to rubbed red brick and sandstone, whereas the materials are not always attractive. They must be combined with other raw materials,” he said. When glued to the sandstone, said Suardana, the material was hard to get at this time. In addition, sandstone mining also kindled environmental damage because many sandstone cliffs avalanched as the sandstone was continuously dug by miners. “Therefore, the architecture must look for alternative materials

that can be combined with other materials so that Balinese style is getting richer,” he said. He exemplified that many new hotels today made their exterior or walls of glass. They did not apply any touch of natural stone and Balinese carving. According to Suardana, Balinese style should not only be used to cover walls, but should also be applied in the building structure. Balinese architecture was known to have tri angga (three parts of human body) or vertical orientation concept, consisting of ‘legs’ or foundation, ‘body’ or wall and ‘the head’ or pyramidal roof. Meanwhile, many hotels, shops or homes today did not apply the concept posing the element of Balinese style. Continued on page 6
