It's no secret that I really dig the Duplass Brothers. Although I was more a fan of the marketing of Baghead than the actual movie, to me, they, well...get it. Like Andrew Bujalski, they are able to achieve realism through their writing...its already on the page. At that point, they are able to incorporate the standard adage in DIY filmmaking of "allowing truth to take place." But for these filmmakers, it starts on the page, and its there where the collaborative excitement about their work really begins.
Here are 3 different video clips about their latest feature film Cyrus.
Written and directed by Jay and Mark Duplass, the iconoclastic filmmaking team behind Sundance Film Festival favorite THE PUFFY CHAIR, CYRUS takes an insightful and funny look at love and family in contemporary Los Angeles. Starring John C. Reilly, Jonah Hill, Marisa Tomei, and Catherine Keener.
Jonah Hill may be best known for his roles in Judd Apatow films. But in his newest film, Cyrus, he adapts his comedy to the looser, grittier style of the Duplass Brothers, playing an overly protective mama’s boy. Hill sat down with Vanity Fair West Coast editor Krista Smith at Sundance to talk about Cyrus, how co-star Marisa Tomei was the first person to recognize him on the street, and his plot to crash Robert Redford's place in Park City.
From Anne Thompson's blog is a great Sundance interview with the Duplass Brothers about Cyrus.
