HOW LOVING VINCENT CAME TO BE
One of the more intriguing titles that we think is likely to play in Telluride next week is the hand painted full length feature film about the life of Vincent Van Gogh entitled Loving Vincent. If you've seen the trailer you know that the film looks to be visually stunning. Here is that trailer from YouTube:
If you're curious about how the film was made Indiewire has the story.
It's definitely on my list for consideration to see next week.
WORMWOOD REVELATIONS
I've actually had people ask me if Wormwood really exists which isn't a crazy question. To say it's been flying under the radar would be an understatement.
If you check out Errol Morris' IMDb entry doesn't list it anywhere on his resume. But you know it's real because Venice is screening it.
After some digging I can tell you that it's a Netflix series starring Peter Sarsgaard. IT is said to focus on a true life murder mystery that occurred in the 1950's and is expected to combine archival footage with re-enactments. Here's the placeholder on the Netflix site:
And interviews with Morris over the last year where he has mentioned the project but certainly hasn't been terribly forthcoming. Here are three of those:
Collider
Season Zero
Flavorwire
Honestly, after I took a look at these, my interest is piqued.
IT'S ALMOST RATING TIME
Don't forget, my friends, I want your ratings of the films you see next weekend. Use a 0-5 scale with 0 being "putrid" and 5 being "best film since..."
Have a great weekend and get rested up for next week. More on Monday!
