South By Southwest-Ticker 2014schwanenmeister, 19:48h
Für zwei, drei Genre-Filmtipps ist das SXSW in Austin eigentlich immer gut. Die letzten beiden Jahre waren dagegen etwas dünn gesät. Einzig und allein "The Cabin in the Woods" wurde entdeckt und entpuppte sich dann bei Licht betrachtet als ziemlicher Stinker für Horror-Newbies. Dafür bleibt das Jahr 2011 noch lange im Gedächtnis, als sowohl "Kill List" als auch "The Innkeepers" hier ihre Weltpremieren feierten. Am meisten gespannt bin ich auf den Daniel Stamm-Film "13 Sins" und das "Stand By Me"-Projekt der "Inside"-Macher Alexandre Bustillo und Julien Maury, das "Among the Living" heißen soll.
★★★
"The Infinite Man" (Hugh Sullivan): "Imagine if Edgar Wright remade TIMECRIMES as a smart & sensitive Australian romantic comedy. Je t'aime je t'aime." (David Ehrlich, Badass Digest) "A smart, funny and oddly romantic indie film." (Mark Adams, Screen Daily) "A lightweight comic fantasy [A-]." (Eric Kohn, indieWIRE)
★★
"Neighbors" (Nicholas Stoller): "NEIGHBORS is heartfelt, hysterical and all kinds of messed up." (Eric Vespe, Aintitcool) "Nicholas Stoller's latest is also his best." (Drew McWeeny, HitFix)
★
"Chef" (Jon Favreau): "Watching CHEF on an empty stomach was the dumbest thing I've done this year. Wins the Oscar for Grilled Cheese Closeups." (Edgar Wright, "Shaun of the Dead"-Regisseur) "CHEF is a hit. Also made me very confused as to how I've ever had consensual sex (for free!) despite barely being able to cook cereal." (David Ehrlich, Badass Digest) "Favreau's CHEF has a heart the size of Texas." (Drew McWeeny, HitFix) "Favreau's CHEF is a real crowd pleaser, a throwback to simple, fun character-driven indies. Plus copious amounts of food porn." (Eric Vespe, Aintitcool) "CHEF may be my favorite Favreau flick, that said I'm fucking drooling starving now!" (Harry Knowles, Aintitcool) "A lightweight but high-calorie confection." (Joe Leydon, Variety) "Favreau hasn't made a game-changing meal to remember, but a perfect chocolate lava cake." (Amy Nicholson, L.A. Weekly)
[Nachtrag ,16.03.: Na, das war wohl wieder leider nütschts, kleines South-By-Southwest-Fest!]
