Is IFC Midnight’s Brutal Pick-Up Kill List the Dogtooth of SXSW ’11?

Posted on March 18, 2011 by | Leave a comment

The psycho-sexual anthology Little Deaths made a minor splash at SXSW as the Serbian Film of this year’s fest, leaving many searching for the film most analogous to Ben Wheatley’s even better-loved SXF antastic buzz film Kill List . But while parallels to previous SXSW hits like Monsters and Wheatley’s own Down Terrace have been drawn, another entry from last year’s festival circuit instead comes to mind: Yorgos Lanthimos’ crazypants domestic drama Dogtooth .

Park Chan-wook’s iPhone Film Night Fishing is a Stunning Example of Cell Phone Moviemaking

Posted on March 18, 2011 by | Leave a comment

When Harmony Korine’s short film Umshini Wam screened alongside the latest from Korean filmmaker Park Chan-Wook ( Oldboy, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Thirst ) at SXSW, both efforts had an unproven element to unveil. For Korine, the wild cards were his stars, the South African hip-hop act Die Antwoord. But for Park, it was something even more groundbreaking: he filmed the mystical, spiritual ghost story Night Fishing entirely using the iPhone 4.

VIDEO: Take a Ride in the Tricked-Out, Fire-Breathing Medusa Car from Bellflower

Posted on March 17, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Evan Glodell’s nihilist love story/vengeance tale Bellflower is a dangerous piece of must-see American indie filmmaking for Mad Max fans and, in a way, the same crowd who can’t wait to see Quentin Dupieux’s killer tire flick Rubber . After premiering at Sundance, where Oscilliscope snapped it up for a summer 2011 release, Bellflower blazed a diesel-fueled trail through SXSW treating attendees to a glimpse of the heavily modified Buick Skylark that Glodell transformed into the flame-throwing beast known as the Mother Medusa.

Posted on March 17, 2011 by | Leave a comment

While audiences nationwide will have to wait even longer to see how Mel Gibson fares as a man who depends on a beaver hand puppet to get through a mid-life crisis, a handful of critics saw Jodie Foster’s The Beaver last night at SXSW . According to the early word, it looks like anyone hoping for unbridled insanity or off-the-wall comedy will have to wait for an SNL parody. But what did critics think of the movie on its own terms?

First time director Cindy Meehl brought the capacity audience at Austin’s Paramount Theater to its feet with her crowd-pleasing documentary Buck , about Buck Brannaman, the gentleman cowboy-horse whose life and work partially inspired Robert Redford’s The Horse Whisperer . After the film, Brannaman and the filmmakers walked onstage to a rousing standing ovation for a Q&A filled with horsemanship advice, behind-the-scenes details, and a shout out to the Dog Whisperer, Cesar Millan.

SXSW: All Hail Wiig! Bridesmaids Proves That Chick Flicks Don’t Have to Suck

Posted on March 14, 2011 by | Leave a comment

SNL superstar Kristen Wiig breezed into Austin midnight Sunday for what director Paul Feig accurately termed “Kristen Wiig Appreciation Night” — a double header of this Friday’s Paul followed by a special work in progress screening of this summer’s Bridesmaids . The May 13 comedy marks Wiig’s first honest-to-goodness starring vehicle, an event in itself, but here’s even better news: Bridesmaids isn’t just the smart and grounded antidote to the shrill chick flicks we all hate; it’s the most raunchy, sweet and wonderfully vulgar R-rated comedy in recent memory. Bring it, Hangover 2 .
