  • Brickbrick Paul L
    TREASURES FROM THE YALE FILM ARCHIVE WEDNESDAY AN ONGOING SERIES OF CLASSIC AND CONTEMPORARY FILMS PRESENTED IN 35MM BY THE YALE FILM STUDY CENTER MAY 13, 2015 7:00PM • WHITNEY HUMANITIES CENTER PRESENTED WITH SUPPORT FROM BRICKBRICK PAUL L. JOSKOW ’70 M.PHIL., ’72 PH.D. Dashiell Hammett goes to high school in this hard-boiled detective story set in the suburbs of Southern California. First-time director Rian Johnson (THE BROTHERS BLOOM, LOOPER, BREAKING BAD, and the upcoming STAR WARS: EPISODE VIII) wrote the script at age 23 in his first year out of USC, and spent the next six years raising the nearly half million dollars needed for the small- budget production, largely through loans from family and friends. The 20-day shooting schedule brought a cast of young actors to Johnson’s hometown of San Clemente and even into his old high school, the location for much of the film. The No. audacious results were described as “bizarre and ingenious neo-noir” by Peter Bradshaw and “noir to its very bones” by 12 Roger Ebert, and earned Johnson the Special Jury Prize for Originality of Vision at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival. LANGUAGE: The bad brick. The Pin. Tug. Poor Frisco. From the film’s first dialogue scene, we are blitzed by highly stylized language that is at once familiar to the genre and unique to the world of BRICK. Johnson wrote the film’s treatment as a prose novella in the style of Hammett in an effort to echo Hammett’s dialogue and story pacing. “It was amazing how all the archetypes from that detective world slid perfectly over the high school types,” Johnson observed.
