Films - Italy - Physics of Water released six years after completion
2010-04-23 09:00:03"I acted in Felice Farina's The Physics of Water in 2004, and subsequently saw all the problems it had making it to the screen, despite having received public funding and the fact that many passionate people worked on it.

New on DVD: Adventureland, Trouble the Water, Rudo y Cursi
2009-08-26 09:00:14Falco rocks "Amadeus" on repeat in Greg Mottola's lovely and hilarious Adventureland, out on DVD today. Set in a seedy Pennsylvania amusement park in 1987 and starring Jesse Eisenberg and Kristin Steward, Adventureland is still one of our favorite films of the year. (Compare prices.) Just in time for the four-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, the powerful documentary Trouble The Water is also available on DVD today. With the help of footage she shot herself, the film follows Kimberly Rivers, aka Black Kold Medina, a rap artist from the Ninth Ward who is too poor to leave New Orleans before the storm. Related: a video interview with the first resident of Brad Pitt's "Make It Right" houses. (Compare prices.) Fans of Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna might also be interested in the soccer comedy Rudo y Cursi, the first time the two heartthrobs shared the screen since Y Tu Mama Tambien. (Compare prices.)
Norwegian Film Alert: Troubled Water Screens in New York
2009-10-19 09:00:04I was lucky enough to see Eric Poppe's Troubled Water last year at the Hamptons Film Festival. The film won both the Golden Starfish for Best Narrative Feature and the Audience Award -- and then it disappeared. Troubled Water tells the parallel stories of a man who is released from prison eight years after killing a child, and the child's mother. A riveting drama about guilt and redemption, the film at times takes the shape of a thriller. Trine Dyrholm is particularly wonderful and never once slips into stereotype in the role of the grieving mother. Unfortunately, I can't announce a glorious theatrical release for Troubled Water. The good news: if you live in New York and are free this Wednesday, you can catch a one-time screening atàScandanavian House. Film Movement will release Troubled Water on DVD next February.
