When you're faced with a schedule as massive as varied as Sundance's, sometimes you have to pick which film to see based simply on the name. Whether that's the return of a director you admire or simply a movie star you hope to see in person at the premiere-- hey, that's your call. But the last 24 hours of the festival have brought highly anticipated directorial efforts from a handful of big names, from Joseph Gordon-Levitt's first turn behind the camera to the return of David Gordon Green, a former indie darling who seemed to have lost his way with dumb comedies like The Sitter and Your Highness in recent years.
My intrepid colleague Matt Patches and I caught both of these movies, along with a few others that we share some details about in the video blog below. We're recording this as we head off to two more highly anticipated directorial efforts-- Park Chan-Wook's Stoker and Richard Linklater's Before Midnight.
