The Savages
by DanielThe Savages is a near-perfectly made, flawlessly acted gem. Suddenly forced into 'real life' at 42 and 39 years of age, siblings Jon and Wendy have to care for their estranged father, who has developed dementia. A simple, character-driven story dealing with a messy subject in a subtle, intelligent and cathartic way that pulls none of its punches and never wallows in sentimentality. Refreshingly told with beautiful camera work and filled with truthful observations, melancholy, black humor and poignancy, this is just a wonderful film. It's essentially a two-hander (though unusually we do also see things from the father's perspective sometimes), with Laura Linney and Philip Seymour Hoffman never putting a foot wrong. The Savages reminded me very much of Alexander Payne's About Schmidt and Sideways (and Payne is one of the Exec Producers) - not just in terms of style but in substance too. Definitely worthy of your time.
Semi-interested? Then you must see this.

Tarnation
by DanielAn extremely unique, deeply personal and very affecting documentary, Tarnation was made for under $300 and is comprised of home movies, telephone messages, photo montages, some 'dramatic re-enactments', candid footage and pieces of 80's pop-culture TV and music. If ever a film deserved one of those 'Originality of Vision' awards, then this is it. Jonathan Caouette expertly constructs all the elements in a stunningly visual way with at times almost Lynchian surrealism, but the film is never less than heartrending. A filmic love-letter to Caouette's mother and a powerful documentary about the destructiveness of mental illness, Tarnation has redefined the possibilities of what a low-budget film can achieve and is a mesmerizing experience.
Hey, you should really see this! Jonathan Caouette sent bits of his film to John Cameron Mitchell as part of an audition for Shortbus. Mitchell saw the potential in the footage so rather than give Caouette a part in his film he instead met with Gus Van Sant and together they signed on as Executive Producers for the finished film...
