Sundance Adds 3 New Films Including a Feature-Length Acid Trip

The Sundance Film Festival has announced three late additions to its lineup, and they all sound pretty exciting, especially Alex Gibney and Alison Ellwood’s documentary Magic Trip . Apparently in the 60’s, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest Author Ken Kesey and friends took an LSD -fueled road trip to the New York World’s Fair and filmed the entire thing. Ellwood and Gibney have assembled this footage, along with photos and audio recordings into, I presume, something coherent. It could be hilarious, enlightening or really stupid, but I personally can’t wait to find out which. The rest of the announcement includes new work from Miranda July ( Me and You and Everyone we Know ) and Ashley Judd. Read on for the full synopses.

A Somewhat Gentle Man Trailer: Stellan Skarsgård Tries to Play Nice with the Mob

It seems like the Gangster-comedy sub-genre should be scraping the bottom of a dry well by now, but they just keep coming! And while A Somewhat Gentle Man indeed looks like rehash of dark comedy we’ve seen before, the fact that character actor and Lars Von Trier regular Stellan Skarsgård ( Breaking the Waves , Mamma Mia! ) plays the lead offers hop that maybe this Swedish import has more to offer than the trailer suggests.
