BLACK BEAR

dir. Lawrence Michael Levine
prod. Julie Christeas & Johnny Blitstein

Aubrey Plaza

Chris Abbott

Sarah Gadon

A fascinating meta-commentary on marriage and filmmaking. The camera movement is gentle and smooth, with exquisite Steadicam. The second half emphasizes the claustrophobic and harried chaos of a film shoot in its waning hours, punctuated with bursts of wild jazz.

Fueled by surprise and layered with an intoxicating dream logic, Black Bear is the kind of discovery you hope for at Sundance: wholly unexpected, compellingly demanding, and utterly unique.
