Event
Guy And Madeline On A Park Bench
(Damien Chazelle, USA, 2009, DigiBeta, 82 min) Godard meets Cassavetes with a little Miles Davis thrown in for good measure in this fresh take on the musical, by first time director Damien Chazelle. Within the first ten minutes, we meet Guy (Jason Palmer) and Madeline (Desiree Garcia) as they meet each other, embark on a brief romance and part ways. The rest of the film focuses on the mellifluous voice of Guy's trumpet and Madeline's charming tap dancing, creating an ode to Boston's eclectic jazz scene. Shot in black and white on 16mm, grainy shadows and striking lighting combine with gorgeous music and heartfelt romance in this stunning debut.
"A surprise, a delight and a whimsical experiment, it could, despite its rigorous efforts to be noncommercial, end up a bona-fide cult hit." —John Anderson, Variety
