My Most Anticipated Films of Sundance 2012
Following the lead of my beautiful friend Dor, below you will find my most anticipated films at this year’s Sundance
For Ellen - Paul Dano, i just can’t quit you. And from the looks of our picture taken togeter Sundance 2010, you can’t wait to get back with me too
Hello I Must Be Going - I’ve loved Todd Luiso since Phenom on ABC. I’m excited to see what he can do as a director.
Detropia - Detroit has captured my imagination since me and my dear friend Amanda drove through and were approached by a homeless man without a face. It has always been the worst place in the country for me to imagine spending any time in, and my friend told me recently you can buy $100 houses there. Now, thanks to the gals who directed Jesus Camp I may actually be able to answer what.the.fuck.happened.to.detroit.
The House I Live In - I’m humiliated to say but I’ve never seen a film by Jarecki and I’m excited that this one will be my first. The War on Drugs, in practice, is almost as laughable as the War on Terrorism. I have very high expectations for this.
About the Pink Sky - I don’t know much about the director Keiichi Kobayashi, or Japanese cinema in general, but the description in the film guide really captured my attention. Looking forward to this one.
Four Suns - The description in the film guide reminds me of a unique Czech blend of Bass Ackwards with a heavy helping of Tilsammans. I count those two films among my favorites so I’m excited!
Young & WIld - Debut film by Marialy Rivas, who directed my *favorite* short last year Blokes. Enough said.
China Heavyweight - Ryan I’m doing boxing research!
Bachelorette - Kiki Dunst, I must squeeze you and love you and gush and we must have photographic evidence! I saw her once at Arclight. I was about to tell her I loved her through thick and then but then her friend came up and slapped her butt and she got all giddy and distracted. No one slap her butt please.
Kid-Thing - Seems really interesting
28 Hotel Rooms - Seems like the mosaic, fragmented style of storytelling that I adore and seems far too absent at this year’s festival!
Room 237 - Jonathan Snipes composed the music for this film which just makes it really bad ass.
