Oscilloscope Romances 'Exploding Girl'

Posted by Eric Lavallee on Oct 22, 2009

After distributing So Yong Kim’s Treeless Mountain, Oscilloscope are barking up the same, family tree, adding her hubby's Berlin Film Festival/Tribeca preemed film to the future slate. Bradley Rust Gray’s The Exploding Girl is set for a 2010 release.

Zoe Kazan plays Ivy, a twenty-year-old college student home in New York for spring break. She’s excited about a developing romance back at school and life is seemingly perfect. When her longtime friend Al finds himself without a place to stay during the break, Ivy and her mother take him in and Al and Ivy’s friendship strengthens while her boyfriend grows more and more distant. Increasingly distressed about her conflicting feelings, Ivy struggles to keep control, not wanting her overwhelming emotions to trigger her epilepsy.

Here's how "filmmaking couples" bounce ideas off of one another. I imagine it may be the same way with Olivier Assayas and Mia Hansen-Løve.

Review: The Kid With a Bike

Review: The Kid With a Bike

"Despite the one-dimensionality of its anti-patriarchal theme (appeasing the knee-jerk expectations of European film fest audiences), the Dardennes avoid cheapening the story with ideological smugness, achieving an emotional resonance without easy sentimentality."

Review: Wrong

"Encoded in the outlandish humor that pervades the film are bits of commentary on everyday life. The most overt is Dupieux's urging to appreciate the relationships around you, which is manifested in the dog kidnapping, but also in a subplot in which a woman from the pizzeria moves between men without even realizing they have changed. Another cultural critique is found in the rainy office, an instantly recognizable visual metaphor for how dreary a 9 to 5 job can be."
