BUJALSKI IN BERLIN WITH BEESWAX

I though I'd share a tidbit from a recent press release by the 2009 Berlin International Film Festival about Andrew Bujalski's new film.

"Andrew Bujalski’s Beeswax is in many ways symptomatic of the search for a new autonomy of narrative. Using the gestures, manner of speaking, and props of everyday life, Bujalski discovers small dramatic episodes of an astonishing cinematographic quality. His laconicism and intimacy can be considered the marks of a trend; a special genre term has, in fact, already been coined to reflect the way the actors, mostly non-professionals, speak in his films: “mumblecore”. This term can also be seen as an indication that the mumbling of everyday life all too often transmits the clearest signs of life."

Says nothing we don't already know, but hey, three cheers!
