Call this a case of déjà vu. Chalk one up for the independent filmmaker, as IFC Films have decided to take a second dip into the mumblecore wave by re-teaming with Joe Swanberg/Greta Gerwig. I’m not sure what kind of return they had with Hannah Takes the
Stairs – but I’m banking that the South by Southwest Film Festival preemed romantic drama will have a month long theatrical run.
Over at Spoutblog, Swanberg calls his latest oeuvre a “When Harry Meets Sally meets DIE HARD
without the cuteness or the explosions” with Nights and
Weekends we find the story of Mattie and James who are in love. But too many mornings and too
many miles apart have taken a toll on them. As they struggle with the distance
between New York and Chicago, their visits become reminders of the difficulties,
not the pleasures, of their relationship. Check out a trio of film clips here.
