2011 Sundance Predictions: Jonathan Teplitzky’s Burning Man

Date:

#02. Burning Man – Jonathan Teplitzky

After Animal Kingdom, could Australia have another breakout film at the festival? THR says Jonathan Teplitzky’s third film, which is currently being sold at the AFM, is being billed as “a reckless, sexy, provocative and ultimately tear-jerking father and son tale”. Looking for a North American distributor, Burning Man would benefit from a film festival premiere showing. I think it may fit the festival bill or trickle into Tribeca’s line-up.

Starring Matthew Goode, Bojana Novakovic, Rachel Griffiths, Essie Davis and Kerry Fox, this is about an English chef with a chic restaurant on Bondi Beach trying to put his life and his relationship with his son back on track while surrounded by women.

* Producers: Andy Paterson and Teplitzky

Interview: Marjane Satrapi & Vincent Paronnaud – Persepolis

The thrill of meeting Marjane Satrapi reminded me of being 6 years old at Disney Land when I met the living, breathing Cinderella. Except Cinderella was an actress with a blond wig and Marjane is the real woman behind her autobiographical graphic novel, turned movie, “Persepolis”. The distinctive mole on her nose and her dark sultry eyes rose off the page and appeared in front of me, smoking and speaking with a French accent.
