Some movies are better without previews as a marketing tool, because the previews fuck it up for the rest of us. But how will you promote the film, you ask. Well, not with previews for sure. I remember watching the previews for this and didn’t know what to make of it. No, that’s not true…I did know that I wasn’t going to watch it; the story seemed goofy and stupid.
So I admit that I’m stupid for letting a stupider preview make the judgment for me. It’s a beautiful movie! One of 2007’s best. If you haven’t seen it - see it! I love movies that doesn’t feel the need to explain everything. Let me come to my own conclusions. ‘Lars’ had to be handled very carefully, I have no doubt. The wrong set of people could’ve - to put it nicely - fucked it up! Thankfully, everyone fell into place in making this story. Doesn’t happen that often.
Good films are out there, being written and being made. ‘Real’ has been a reel pleasure.
