Was lucky enough to catch a showing of Beasts of the Southern Wild this weekend and was blown away. It’s a gorgeous film to look at, existing in another world, while mildly grounded in ours. It’s not worth describing the plot, but in a lot of ways, it’s the anti-Moonrise Kingdom. Both films are strikingly beautiful fables, but one is incredibly ambitious, while one inspires some whimsy, but ultimately fades from your mind. Beasts… sticks around
Oh, and the young star, Quvenzhané Wallis, is fantastic.
Davis Guggenheim is releasing an Obama documentary short through the campaign on March 15th. From the looks of the trailer it’s gonna be exciting. Click the image above to watch.
