2009 Sundance Film Festival Round-Up


This was the best of Sundance Film Festival I've attended since I started in 2006. As if the organizers were insistent on making sure it wasn't quite a perfect one, they didn't sell any fleece jacket or pullover souvenir. I've gotten them every year and meant to continue it as a tradition. Bastards. My friend James is smarter; he buys caps every year instead.

Favorites (in no order):

  • We Live in Public (2009)
  • El general (2009)
  • Five Minutes of Heaven (2009)
  • Helen (2009)
Duds:

  • The Killing Room (2009)
  • Heart of Time (Corazón del tiempo)(2009)
Ones I need/want to see again for a proper assessment:

  • 211: Anna (2009)
  • The Clone Returns Home (クローンは故郷をめざす)(2008)
