Alexander the Last (2009)

[TJ Wells]

New film from Joe Swanberg will be simultaneously premiering at SXSW and onDemand March 14th. Looking forward to getting my first Mumblecore fix of the year.

Stars Jess Weixler (Teeth) Justin Rice (Bishop Allen) and Jane Adams (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Little Children, Orange County).

Probably the most "actory" cast i've ever seen in a Mumblecore film yet.

Can you explain what mumblecore is again exactly?

[TJ Wells]

Mumblecore is an American (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States) independent film (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_film) movement (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movement) that arose in the early 2000s.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumblecore#cite_note-Hoberman-0)[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumblecore#cite_note-Lim-1) It is primarily characterized by ultra-low budget production (often employing digital video cameras), focus on personal relationships between twenty-somethings, improvised scripts, and non-professional actors. Filmmakers in this genre include Lynn Shelton (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynn_Shelton), Andrew Bujalski (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Bujalski), Mark Duplass (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mark_Duplass&action=edit&redlink=1), Jay Duplass (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay_Duplass), Aaron Katz (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Katz_%28filmmaker%29), Joe Swanberg (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Swanberg), Todd Rohal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Todd_Rohal) and Ry Russo-Young (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ry_Russo-Young&action=edit&redlink=1).[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumblecore#cite_note-Hoberman-0)[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumblecore#cite_note-Hubert-2)

Quiet City, The Puffy Chair, Nights and Weekends, Hannah Takes the Stairs and The Pleasure of Being Robbed are probably my favorites.
