Sitting there was a kind of banishment.
Its not the back seat.

Its the way,wayback seat.
The two shared the Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar last year forThe Descendants, and this is their directorial debut.
In my adult life, Ive climbed a bit I hope.

Maybe Im a 4 or a 5 now.
(His Twitter handle, by the way, is @RashIsTVUgly.)
But at least he didnt become a serial killer.
Oh, you havent met me, Rash says.
Not even Colin Firth so much as Colin Firth in the 1995 mini-seriesPride and Prejudice.
But really, shes in love with his Mr. Darcy character from the Jane Austen novel.
Dale Robinette
Since Darcy is a fictional character from 1813, Firth is a tolerable substitute.
Basically, shes delusional.
These lonely, sad ladies save all their money and go to this giant castle.
Theyre going knowing its all a lie and still falling in love with these guys.
Do these types of resorts actually exist?
Thats what keeps getting hinted at.
In the end, hes going to say he loves me.
Given her credentials, expect a lot of skewed humor especially in the chronological mishmash the resort becomes.
It is absolutely an irreverent version of the Jane Austen stories, told in Jerushas way, Russell says.
At the ball, everyone is dancing romantically to The Lady in Red.
Somewhere in the middle, they meet.
Its bad timing, but its very much a passionate, emotional affair.
NEXT MOVIE:Shailene Woodley in The Spectacular Now
THE SPECTACULAR NOW
Not another teen movie.
All those big iconic things.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who starred inSmashedlast year, plays Tellers older sister.
But he knows nothing, Ponsoldt says.
NEXT MOVIE:Primer director Shane Carruths enigmatic new Upstream Color
UPSTREAM COLOR
Remember Shane Carruth?
The filmmaker is not really a household name, partly because he hasnt made a film in eight years.
His new film,Upstream Color, is likely to generate the same passionate curiosity.
He was married with a child, and she was also in a relationship.
Or is there more beauty simply in the love story that never can be?
What has happened to Celine and Jesse over the past decade?
Well soon find out, though everyone involved has kept the story strictly under wraps.
Even the shoot was done in Greece on the sly.
for the past nine years.
I think people who really liked the first two will like this one, he said.
There is a disconcerting finality to the title.
Weve had the sunrise and the sunset, and now were reaching the end of the day.
Will there be a fourth movie nine years from now?
You probably shouldnt let anyone answer that question for you.
The pair have a fondness for figures who push back against the rigidness of society.
Was she sexy or tragic?
We tried to mirror her psychology at the different periods of her life, Epstein said.
That gave us the opportunity to have a tone that really varies.
Theres a lot of humor in the film, and its a somewhat harrowing drama as is life.
Not everything is all tragic or all rosy and peachy.
We didnt set out to make a porn film anyway.
Its the story of a time and a person, Friedman says.
I think its sexy, but its tasteful.
Paul Rudd plays the uptight, quiet one, while Emile Hirsch is his girlfriends brother needy and not-so-bright.
They leave their lives behind for a slow-motion roadtrip doing minor repairs along the expanse of the fried freeway.
In fact, he doesnt even need another lover.
Thats a different story.
This is a guy who gets laid all the time and hesstilladdicted to porn.
NEXT MOVIE:Lake Bells In a World …
IN A WORLD …
Sometimes its tough to break into the family business.
If youre a success, people assume its nepotism.
And if you fail, well … it can be hard to escape the big shadows of powerful parents.
Even though the general public may not know their names, there are stars in that field.
And where there are stars, there are divas.
Comedians Demetri Martin, Michaela Watkins, Rob Corddry, Ken Marino, and Tig Notaro co-star.
Soon Carol finds herself caught up in a serious of unexpected rivalries and backstabbing.
In a world where all that matters is your voice, youd better watch what you say.
It may not be healthy, but it still could be necessary.
We humans have gotten very creative in our powers of denial.
Its one of our most finely tuned instruments, Gregorini says with a laugh.
When it comes to coping, we all find our crutches.
I think it touches on our frailty.
Is it an innocent preoccupation or a sign of deeper disturbance in the mourning girl?
Or is she simply losing her mind?
I would say there is a Polanski-ness to it, Gregorini jokes.
Theres an underbelly about it.
Like a lot of movies at the festival, its not one that is easily summarized.
In terms of genre, its kind of doing its own thing, Gregorini says.
It has a little bit of everything including some absurdity and humor, just for good measure.
Roughly the same age, they each have sons who are about the same age, too.
Xavier Samuel and James Frechevile play the sons.
And each wants essentially the same thing as the other.
It has the kind of performances that you dont see come around very often.

It just really swept me away.
