Spout's Noralil Ryan Fores did a wonderful interview with Joe and Kris Swanberg about both of their films.
They brought up some interesting themes regarding SXSW and making films, that in a way, speak to each other.
Joe calls "Alexander, the last" both a love letter and artistic public apology to Kris, and they debate Kris's "It was great, but I was ready to come home" as being either an intentional film about commitment or lack there of, or if it was something more subconscious.
With all of the blogger debate about the legitmacy of the Swanberg's work, it's important to note: We are Team Swanberg!
Read the interview here!
On a side note, I have seen Joe's "Alexander, the last" twice now, on IFC on Demand, and I think it's an interesting note on his previous work, and an exciting leap into new cinematic territory.
The characters are fully engaging, the ideas and themes are ultra fluid and he challenges the viewer with new experimental ways of telling a story through sound and editing.
Hopefully I will have a full review soon!
