Sundance Preview gives you a quick glimpse at some of the films I am most looking forward to during the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. I have been covering the festival since 2009 and have seen some of the greatest, and sometimes the worst movies that you may never get the chance to see yourself.
It is no secret that I am a big fan of Anton Yelchin, and to see a new movie of his in such an intimate setting as you find at Sundance is a real treat. His new movie LIKE CRAZY also stars Jennifer Lawrence and is directed by Drake Doremus who had DOUCHEBAG premiere at the festival last year. Check out the synopsis below:
Like Crazy is a film from and about the heart. Jacob, an American, and Anna, who is British, meet at college in Los Angeles and fall madly in love. It’s the purest kind of romance—they’re each other’s first significant attachment. When Anna returns to London, the couple is forced into a long-distance relationship. Their perfect love is tested, and youth, trust, and geography become their biggest enemies.
Taking a complete tonal departure from his last film, Douchebag, which screened at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival, cowriter/director Drake Doremus poetically reveals the intimate details and daily struggles of Jacob and Anna’s love affair as it stretches between time and distance and changes course. Anton Yelchin and Felicity Jones are enthralling in their sweetness and honesty as the young couple. An original, contemplative look at first love, Like Crazy strikes a universal chord as it explores the bittersweet beauty and impermanence of relationships.
