Kelly Reichardt made a film a couple years ago, Old Joy, that, after watching it I called “one of my all time favorite films,” a sentiment that still stands today.
I’m very excited to learn of her new project (thanks NYTimes), Wendy and Lucy that is making the rounds of indie theaters. It’s slated for a run at the Ritz here in Philly starting January 23, and you know I will be there. If you haven’t yet been exposed to Kelly’s work, I highly recommend that you do. Here’s the trailer for the film:
Coincidentally, I read a piece in ReadyMade Magazine profiling Beastie Boy Adam “MCA” Yauch and his new venture Oscilloscope Pictures. Several times in the last week I have read a review or seen a trailer for an amazing looking film, including the documentary Dear Zachary, and they have been the producers/distributors. I’m very proud of the innovative work they’re doing and hope they keep putting out these fantastic films.
