TrailerA pitch perfect 1930's noir in a 21st century highschool. Every aspect it touches, it masters. Plus it's funny. I watched it twice in a row... had to invite some friends over to share.

A film podcast I listen to (I think it was Filmspotting) has named their pimping of undiscovered gems the "Brick Awards" after this movie. Have not seen it yet myself.

Yeah, fucking awesome movie.
In the commentary, the director explains that he set it in a high school because he wanted to make a real noir film, not a self-aware satire of a noir film, and the only way he thought a modern audience would be receptive to that would be if he "disguised" the noir conventions by putting them in a different setting.

Finnuh, munnuh, muhfuh, I enjoy creating new written vernacular, s'all.

It was pretty good, but the era-specific dialog feels a little obnoxious after awhile.

I loved this movie. Only bad thing IMO is that it took for ever for it to come to DVD after I heard about it.
|
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

One of my favorite indies. Commentary was as good and introspective as Donnie Darko and Equilibrium's.
