Fear in a Cold Climate: An Interview with Larry Fessenden
|
Although she probably would have won audiences over anyway, the American director Kelly Reichardt (“Old Joy”) was more favorably placed on Thursday evening with “Wendy and Lucy,” which showed in the more hospitable context of Un Certain Regard, a category for younger filmmakers. In the space of a few years, Ms. Reichardt — who offered a few shy words of hello before the screening, flanked by a cluster of male colleagues and her lovely star, Michelle Williams — has become one of the most interesting young American filmmakers. Her latest follows Wendy (Ms. Williams), a girlish woman with watchful eyes and a hesitant smile, who, with her mutt, Lucy, is on her way to a new life in Alaska with too little money when she runs into trouble in Oregon. With uninflected realism, an attentive camera and no weeping strings, Ms. Reichardt makes palpably, tragically real what it means to be struggling at the very edge of the economic abyss. Like “Old Joy,” which tracks two friends on a short trip to the country, “Wendy and Lucy” is political to the bone but without any of the usual grandstanding. As of Thursday night’s screening, though distributors were circling the room, this pitch-perfect triumph had yet to attract an American buyer. It will. —MANOHLA DARGIS |

The Last Winter screens in Minneapolis, Minnesota SATURDAY APRIL 27 At the Bell Museum of Natural History "SEEING CLIMATE CHANGE" FILM FESTIVAL "The Last Winter," which will be shown on Saturday evening, is a film that Matteson feels will be most interesting for the student body. The film "captures the sense of eeriness surrounding our change in environment," says Matteson, "and the sense that something isn't right." She believes this fictional film embodies the tone that surrounds dialogue focused on climate change. article |

Reviews for the AUTOMATONS DVD:
"Automatons
is a winning science-fiction prize with so many facets worthy of praise...
Arguably his most important film to date, Automatons is a tour de force for
director James Felix McKenney."
-- Dustin McNeill, DVDACTIVE
"One
of the most impressive independent projects I've seen in a long time...
One of the most skilled and ambitious shoestring budget movies I've seen to
date."
-- Ed Demko, BLOODTYPE
ONLINE
"Far
more original than such hints of homage suggest.
The “This is How Humanity Dies” tagline should be rephrased to
state “This is how true speculative storylines are handled”.
That’s this small film’s greatest achievement."
-- Bill Gibron, POPMATTERS

| CRITIC'S
PICK: "There's not a single wrong note in 'Liberty
Kid,' ... CRITIC'S
PICK: "Chaiken's subtle narrative touch, along with the exceptionally
strong performances of leads Al Thompson and Kareem Savinon, gives this
one a rare emotional pull." "the least explicit yet most affecting film yet to depict New York “Poigniant. There is no shortage of films abo
ut the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, "Epic
and resonant… to her eternal credit, Chaiken keeps her movie grounded
in her characters, allowing Thompson and Savinon's true-to-life performances
to carry us through…" "an
uncommonly acute, deftly played drama of the New York working class" "Packs
a visceral punch" "There may
have been two or three dozen American films that struggled to make sense
of 9/11 and its aftermath, but none of them have done more with less
than 'Liberty Kid'.. |
