  • Jason Schwartzman Elisabeth Moss Jonathan Pryce Krysten Ritter Joséphine De La Baume Listen up Philip a Film by Alex Ross Perry
    Jason Schwartzman Elisabeth Moss Jonathan Pryce Krysten Ritter Joséphine de La Baume Listen Up Philip a film by Alex Ross Perry Following up his critically acclaimed THE COLOR WHEEL, Alex Ross Perry scripts a complex, intimate and highly idiosyncratic comedy filled withNew Yorkers living their lives somewhere between individuality and isolation. Jason Schwartzman leads an impressive cast including Elisabeth Moss, Krysten Ritter and Jonathan Pryce, balancing Perry’s quick-witted dialogue and their characters’ painful, personal truths. With narration by Eric Bogosian, we switch perspectives as seasons and attitudes change, offering a literary look into the lives of these individuals and the triumph of reality over the human spirit. Listen Up Philip was produced by Washington Square Films (the company’s follow-up film to the acclaimed All Is Lost) and Sailor Bear Productions, the team behind the 2013 Sundance hit Ain’t Them Bodies Saints. SYNOPSIS Anger rages in Philip (Jason Schwartzman) as he awaits the publication of his sure-to-succeed second novel. He feels pushed out of his adopted home city by the constant crowds and noise, a deteriorating relationship with his photographer girlfriend Ashley (Elisabeth Moss), and his own indifference to promoting the novel. When Philip’s idol Ike Zimmerman (Jonathan Pryce) offers his isolated summer home as a refuge, he finally gets the peace and quiet to focus on his favorite subject – himself. Philip faces mistakes and miseries affecting those around him, including his girlfriend, her sister, his idol, his idol’s daughter, and all the ex-girlfriends and enemies that lie in wait on the open streets of New York.

    Five Miles Up with … Jason Schwartzman | Compass - Yahoo! ... http://travel.yahoo.com/blogs/compass/five-miles-jason-schwar... YAHOO! TRAVEL Five Miles Up with … Jason Schwartzman By Bekah Wright | Compass – Tue, Jan 15, 2013 2:17 PM EST Jason Schwartzman’s fans have come to know and love him for his quirky roles in such movies as "Rushmore," "Marie Antoinette" and "I Heart Huckabees." Recently, he’s collaborated with Roman Coppola on several films including "A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III" (opens February 8), "Four Stories" and, the Oscar-nominated "Moonrise Kingdom." We asked Schwartzman about his travel repertoire, and what we discovered? Among other things, a whopping dose of sentimentality. Window or aisle? Window. Carry-on or check-in? A little of both. What do you always pack in your suitcase? A mini keyboard. What’s your idea of the perfect vacation? One that entails being surrounded by family and loved ones. Very low pressure. You can do whatever you want. Ideally, a perfect vacation is one where you go with a bunch of people who all know each other well enough to leave each other alone. Have you been on one that’s come close recently? I like to go to my wife’s family home in Fair Oaks, Alabama, just outside of Mobile, for the holidays. That’s the perfect example of family and friends, plus it’s super casual and everyone can be together, or not be together, and have space to go read a book and relax. There’s also so much to do and so much family to see.

  • The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides
    THE VIRGIN SUICIDES PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Jeffrey Eugenides | 260 pages | 20 Jun 2013 | HarperCollins Publishers | 9780007524303 | English | London, United Kingdom The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides Their mother Kathleen Turner is a hysteric so rattled by her daughters' blooming sexuality that she adds cloth to their prom dresses until they appear in "four identical sacks. These parents look gruesome to us. All parents look gruesome to kids, and all of their attempts at discipline seem unreasonable. The teenage years of the Lisbon girls are no better or worse than most teenage years. This is not the story of daughters driven to their deaths. The story it most reminds me of, indeed, is " Picnic at Hanging Rock " , about a party of young girls, not unlike the Lisbon sisters in appearance and sexual experience, who go for a school outing one day and disappear into the wilderness, never to be seen again. Were they captured? Killed in a fall? Trapped somehow? Bitten by snakes? Simply lost in the maze of nature? What happened to them is not the point. Their disappearance is the point. One moment they were smiling and bowing in their white dresses in the sun, and the next they were gone forever. The lack of any explanation is the whole point: For those left behind, they are preserved forever in the perfection they possessed when they were last seen. She has the courage to play it in a minor key. She doesn't hammer home ideas and interpretations. She is content with the air of mystery and loss that hangs in the air like bitter poignancy.

In this living collage of rare archival material, filmed portraits, and voices lifted from early 20th Century diary entries, a struggle erupts between adults and adolescents to define a new idea of youth. Synopsis Before the ‘Teenager’ was invented, there was no second stage of life. You were either a child or you went to work as an adult. At the turn of the century, child labor was ending, 'adolescence' was emerging, and a struggle erupted between adults and youth. Would the young be controlled and regimented, or could they be free? Inspired by punk author Jon Savage's book, Teenage gives voice to young people from the first half of the 20th century in America, England, and Germany—from party-crazed Flappers and hip Swing Kids to zealous Nazi Youth and frenzied Sub-Debs. By the end of World War II, they were all 'Teenagers': a new idea of youth. Four young voices (Jena Malone, Ben Whishaw, Julia Hummer, Jessie Usher) bring to life rare archival material and filmed portraits of emblematic teenagers from history—Brenda Dean Paul, a self-destructive Bright Young Thing; Melita Maschmann, an idealistic Hitler Youth; Tommie Scheel, a rebellious German Swing Kid; and Warren Wall, a black Boy Scout.
