We want to hear what you have to say. If you're in Park City, let us know the movies you've seen, and what you think of them. If you can't brave the cold (or get off work), tell us what Sundance premieres you want to check out once they hit theaters.
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Rotten Tomatoes' coverage of the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. For 10 wintry days in Park City, Utah, movie buffs and professionals will flee the glut of dubious January movies and embrace independent cinema, in all its quirky glory. From risky Hollywood flicks to daring productions that wear their no-budget hearts on their sleeve, Sundance is where it all starts. Movies get first exposure here, and with it the buzz that lasts deep into Oscar season. During our stay, we'll offer you the latest news and movie developments. We'll also give interviews with film personalities, personal photos, and blog entries from the frostbitten hands of the Rotten Tomatoes crew.
SUNDANCE NEWS HEADLINES
Synopsis: ANGEL-A follows self-described liar and shady businessman Andre (Jamel Debbouze), who is down on his luck and owes Parisian gangsters money. In a desperate and weak state, Andre finds himself on the edge of one of the City of Light's majestic bridges, ready to plunge into the river below.
Synopsis: Lying somewhere between PLEASANTVILLE and NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, FIDO is a zombie buddy pic/love story set in a picture-perfect, technicolored 1950s suburb. With the world still recovering from a zombie war that broke out several decades prior, the town of Willard has found a way to keep the peace.
Synopsis: Since the nineteenth century, Japanese artists have experimented with forms of the graphic novel (or manga), transcending the literal and entering the realm of speculation and metaphor. Adapted from Yuki Urushibara's widely celebrated manga, Bugmaster transports us into a visually mesmerizing, softly poetic, fantastical world that explores the shifting relationship between nature and human beings.
