Sundance 2010: Lucas Black, ENTER THE VOID, PLEASE GIVE
At Blast Magazine, Brooklyne Kelly Peters does a q&a with Lucas Black of Get Low, which co-stars Sissy Spacek, Bill Murray (above, with Black), and Robert Duvall as an old hermit who may or may not have murdered a man a long while back. "There’s more movies that should be made like Get Low," Black says. "Every movie that’s made these days, it’s gotta be really over the top, nasty…sexual innuendos…to be entertaining."
"Kirk" at We Are Movie Geeks provides a review of Gaspar Noe‘s Tokyo-set Enter the Void, the tale of a stripper (Paz de la Huerta) and her drug dealer brother (Nathaniel Brown) which pleased some and was abhorred by many at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival. "To say Enter the Void is daring is putting the feeling of having seen the film into a single word," explains Kirk. "This neither can nor should it be the case. It has to be seen to be believed, and whether you enjoy the film or not, there is no denying the level of appreciation that should be given to it."
At salon.com, Andrew O’Hehir calls Nicole Holofcener‘s Please Give "an edgy, somber, beautifully written Manhattan fable of guilt, shame, infidelity, death and real estate." Amanda Peet, Rebecca Hall, Oliver Platt, and Catherine Keener are some of the stars in the film. O’Hehir was also pleased with Enter the Void.
