Lucas Moodysson is back

Filed under: Foreign Language », Independent », Berlin », NSFW », Movie Marketing », Cinematical Indie »

Swedish auteur Lukas Moodysson burst onto the scene a few years ago with the one-two punch of Lilja-4-Ever and Together, but then hit something of a snag with last year's A Hole in My Heart, which most dismissed as a yawn-inducing gross-out lacking the subtelty of most amateur porn (don't take my word for it – I flipped a coin at SXSW and instead ended up at a screening of Mutual Appreciation and haven't looked back since). Now, two new stills have surfaced from his latest, Container, although due to some kind of glitch, I can't seem to view them. But the official synopsis claims that Moodyson himself describes it as "a black and white silent movie with sound", which is pretty much good enough for me. Check out more at Twitch, or see Container for yourself at Berlinale in February.

Bujalski hits the NY Times

Filed under: Independent », DIY/Filmmaking », Newsstand », Cinematical Indie »

I go to Los Angeles for one weekend, and I miss a profile of Andrew Bujalski in the New York Times, courtesy of Village Voice Film Editor Dennis Lim. But what a joy to return to New York last night and read this little gem:

"Hoping for a shot at Hollywood screenwriting, he recently connected with some executives in Los Angeles, though he said he treated the meetings more like therapy sessions: "I would go in and tell them my problems," [Bujalski] said. "They always had a couch.""

...all of which sounds far more relaxing than any trip to Los Angeles I've ever taken. We, of course, have been on Team Bujalski for a while now, and Mutual Appreciation landed at number nine on our list of the Ten Best Films of 2005. I like the film so much that I only feel the tiniest shred of early adopter panic now that the bandwagon is packed and ready to burst. Now will somebody step up and distribute it already?
