We’re excited for the documentary about director Leos Carax, now playing at Sundance Film Festival. Here’s the first trailer for Tessa Louise-Salomé’s Mr leos caraX. It’s very arty and atmospheric, as expected, complete with Tony Oursler-esque projection orbs. No sight of Harmony Korine yet, but Carax as construct is presented through his films, like a puzzle, all that […]

You’ve probably heard voice actor Don LaFontaine say “one man” thousands of times. It is, perhaps, one of the most blatantly overused lines in all movie trailers and it’s about time that someone gave it the “supercut” treatment.
