THE WRONG FERARRI – 72 mins.

“The Wrong Ferarri” is a feature-film written and directed by Adam [Green] in 2010/2011 – it stars a diverse cast of actors and musicians including Macaulay Culkin, Jack Dishel, Alia Shawkat, Devendra Banhart, and Pete Doherty. Essentially a screwball-tragedy, the ketamine inspired movie was the first feature-film to be shot entirely on an iPhone.

Conceived on Green’s European tour in the summer of 2010, The Wrong Ferarri was also filmed in transit, with Green writing the script on index cards and presenting the actors/musicians with their lines on the day of the shoot. Taking advantage of the freedoms that come with shooting on a cellphone – they filmed impulsively on the canals in Venice, in a german gas station, in a cemetery in Prague – with Green making up the plot as they went along. Macaulay Culkin who joined up on the tour at a certain point, told Adam that he “wanted in” on the movie and Adam began to write him into the script. When they returned to New York at the end of the summer, Culkin allowed Adam to build sets in his NYC apartment and they completed the production there.

The film is an epic surrealist drug-odyssey which focuses on Adam’s psychological outlook on love, work, and turning 30. Obsessed with the pet-medicine Ketamine, the characters in the film turn into pets themselves only to find that the “K-hole” is bottomless and that they must overtake their masters. With its dialogue-driven approach, “The Wrong Ferarri” allows Green’s poetic and lyrical writing style to come alive – and ultimately propels a poem transforming it into the shape of a movie.

After being completed the movie was immediately released online as a free download. On April 4th 2011, the film premiered at Anthology Film Archives in NYC. In the weeks that followed it showed at the Downtown Independent theater in Los Angeles and at The Mexico Theater in Milan. “The Wrong Ferarri” has been downloaded in its entirety over 300,000 times. Rolling Stone magazine described it as “Fellini on Ketamine.”

"I did not create it," he said of his new film. "I received it."

The Great Gatsby

Wieder als bildgewaltiges, fast 2,5stündiges Epos von Baz Luhrmann <3 (u.a. Neuverfilmung von Romeo & Julia in den 90ern, Moulin Rouge, Australia) inszeniert mit einem sichtlich gealterten Leo DiCaprio in der Hauptrolle - eine große Liebesgeschichte mit grandiosem Soundtrack. Im Abspann läuft The XX <3

Fand den soundtrack doof und unpassen (rap und techno musik auf 1920er Jahre partys... sollte wohl irgendwie künstlerisch rüber kommen), die bildgewaltigkeit beschränkte sich für mich auf die aufwendige inszenierung der pompösen feste

Also kein klassischer hollywood fortsetzungs-schinken) anzuschauen
Ich muss sagen: wirklich eine tolle trilogie. Zwar bin ich im allgemeinen nicht unbedingt so der fan von liebesgeschichten, aber diese filme sind wirklich sehr intelligent und überhaupt nicht kitschig (ok, der erste schon).
