    By Christopher Stipp October 5th, 2019

    Trailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they’re seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect. Foreign, domestic, independent, big budget: What better way to hone your skills as a thoughtful moviegoer than by deconstructing these little pieces of advertising? This week,…

    'A Most Wanted Man' Sales Trailer: Anton Corbijn's Paranoid Political Thriller

    By Russ Fischer June 6th, 2013

    Anton Corbijn's two feature films have been pretty firmly aimed at the arthouse, but with his John le Carré adaptation A Most Wanted Man, the director may find himself with a slightly larger audience. Philip Seymour Hoffman stars in a story about a "young ex-prisoner who arrives illegally in Germany, practically destitute." Hoffman's character harbors significant suspicions…

    By Jordan Hoffman June 1st, 2012

    A little over a year ago I was in London. I went to the legendary jazz club Ronnie Scott's. At one point during a jam session a young Russian man in a thick coat and scarf (despite the warm weather) ran up on stage, blew his alto like it was nobody's business, then promptly disappeared…

  • Anton Corbijn To Direct 'A Most Wanted Man'

    By Russ Fischer June 20th, 2011

    Anton Corbijn made his feature debut with the Joy Division biopic Control, and last year released a very solid sophomore turn, The American. While promoting that film he didn't sound very optimistic about making more films, saying that his third would probably be his last. Hopefully that won't actually be the case. One way or…

  • 'The American' Director Anton Corbijn To Only Make One More Film?

    By Russ Fischer October 20th, 2010

His debut feature, Control, was a great start, and then The American turned out to be both a satisfying art-house thriller slash character study and a weird out of left field financial success. OK, it didn't rake in fifty million, but it…
