Now down to the point. I was checking out IMDB.com the other day and they have a special Sundance Film Festival section, so I went to check it out and they had some images from the movies playing there so I picked out 5 that I would like to see when they hopefully and eventually make it so theaters. The 5th one I actually found just on Sundance's website.
1) The Future directed and written by Miranda July
"When a couple decides to adopt a stray cat their perspective on life changes radically, literally altering the course of time and space and testing their faith in each other and themselves." - IMDB.com
-Um, sounds adorable, and I just bought Miranda July's book "No One Belongs Here More Than You" so I was excited to see this on the website. I also need to netflix her first feature Me You and Everyone We Know if I am becoming her biggest fan (before I actually delve into her stuff)
2) My Idiot Brother
"A comedy centered on an idealist who barges into the lives of his three sisters." - IMDB.com
-This features Paul Rudd, among other stars, being what I assume the idiot brother. I love Paul Rudd therefore I will most likely love this movie.
3) Salvation Boulevard
"Set in the world of mega-churches in which a former Deadhead-turned-born again-Christian finds himself on the run from fundamentalist members of his mega-church who will do anything to protect their larger-than-life pastor." - IMDB.com
- Sounds epic and hilarious I love psycho over-the-top religious freaks, bring it on.
4) Martha Marcy May Marlene
"Haunted by painful memories and increasing paranoia, a damaged woman struggles to re-assimilate with her family after fleeing an abusive cult." - IMDB.com
-Sounds like a tough subject to make a film about, but I'm interested. Also the photos on IMDB are beautiful.
5) Another Happy Day directed and written by Sam Levinson
"A wedding at her parents' Annapolis estate hurls high-strung Lynn into the center of touchy family dynamics." - IMDB.com
- I watched this little video featuring Sam Levinson on Sundance's website and hearing him talk about his film made it sound pretty awesome. He says in this little video "I'm fascinated by communication and by the desire and the need to communicate and how often communication fails." Check out the video below:
