Synopsis: As a songwriter and poet, Muzafer Bislim collaborates with the biggest names in Romani pop music and is gaining renown with an invitation to the International Biennial of Poets in Paris. But his masterpiece, a handwritten, 25,000 word, multi-dialect dictionary containing the oldest and most obscure words in the Romani language remains largely unknown. Seeing the trip to Paris as an opportunity to have the dictionary published, he gathers up the amassed pages of his life’s work and heads to France to save the legacy of the dying Romani language.
This looks great…
“Sweetgrass presents a riveting and poetic portrait of the American West just as one of its traditional ways of life dies out. Shot amidst the grandeur of Montana’s Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness, the film follows the last modern-day cowboys to lead their flocks of sheep up into the breathtaking and often dangerous mountains for summer pasture. An Official Selection of the 2010 New York Film Festival.
A truly masterful trailer. Considering the mass awareness of this story…I’m not sure they could have done it any better. It gives away nothing…while making you want to run to the theater to see it. The Reznor-Karen O cover of Immigrant Song is sick.

I just tweeted the other day about giving up on M. Night Shymalan but liked the look of his new trailer for Devil. I have to defend him when it comes to this question from a faceless journalist in the crowd. He handles the query with grace and class.
While you can argue (and I agree) he hasn’t hit the mark with many of his films, the man is an accomplished filmmaker and storyteller who has been incredibly prolific (despite failing to match the critical acclaim of Sixth Sense).
Editors note: Perhaps the critic had also just seen his new movie, which apparently is really bad too.

Look, say what you want about The A-Team, but Joe Carnahan will always have a special place in my heart because he made the best short action film ever made.
This is, without question, still the greatest piece of branded entertainment ever made. It is so because it’s amazing entertainment first, and branded second.
Awesome

“Introduction of character suffering from the most topical disability of the present year. Said retard is now under your custody.”
Last line’s the best. Won’t spoil it.
