Sundance Day 4: Elgin James' Little Birds

I've got the post screening Q&A below, but I wish I would have recorded Elgin James when he was presenting the film, as it would explain how "far" this first-time filmmaker has come. An expansion from his short film, Juno Temple (who championed this project for more than two years) and Kay Panabaker essentially play the yin and yang and pull from James' own background -- which serves as a template for some of the narrative details/character motivations. Beautifully photographed by Reed Morano, James who comes from a music background embeds Little Birds with a soundtrack of his own. Review and interview with James coming shortly.

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."
