Catch a glimpse at the movies people will be talking about later this year
Sundance offers an early peek at some of movies that are coming out later this year. There’s limited information on most of these movies, but some of these trailers are a start.
True Story
True Story features Jonah Hill and James Franco and yes, it’s based on actual events. The Brad Pitt produced drama is based on story of Christian Longo (Franco), who hides under the identity of writer Michael Finkel (Hill).
H.
Google yields no results for this movie. The trailer is also quite mysterious. The only thing I know is that it’s built up a lot of talk over the course of the festival.
Partisan
Partisan looks like a really good one to me. As far as I understand, it’s about a young boy who is trained to assassinate, but soon starts to have his own ideas.
Dope
Dope is a stylish movie about a geek’s experience in the hood.
The description reads:
"Malcolm is a high school geek with a high-top fade, carefully navigating life in The Bottoms, one of the toughest neighborhoods in Inglewood, California. He and his fellow outcasts share a voracious appreciation for all things ’90s hip-hop, opting to sport Cross-Colours and Z. Cavariccis at the risk of being clowned at school. He dreams of attending Harvard, but first he has to make it home every day. When a drug dealer takes a shine to Malcolm and invites him to his birthday party, Malcolm’s crew is swirled into a hilarious blender of offbeat characters and bad choices where redemption can only be found in Bitcoin."
3.5 Minutes
This documentary film looks at the killing of a innocent black teenager and the state of gun laws in Florida.
It’s described as follows:
"On Black Friday 2012, four middle-class African-American law-abiding teenagers stopped at a gas station to buy gum and cigarettes. One of them, Jordan Davis, argued with Michael Dunn, a white man parked beside them, over the volume of music playing in their car. The altercation turned to tragedy when Dunn fired 10 bullets at the unarmed boys, killing Davis almost instantly. The seamlessly constructed, riveting documentary film 3½ Minutes explores the danger and subjectivity of Florida’s Stand Your Ground self-defense laws by weaving Dunn’s trial with a chorus of citizen and pundit opinions, and with Jordan Davis’ parents’ wrenching experiences in and out of the courtroom."
Chorus is a black-and-white French film that connects two parents years after their son’s disappearance.
