Saw a couple of films this weekend over here in the desert that are well worth checking out.
Firstly, Brick - best described as film noir set in a US high school. Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who was in Mysterious Skin. Some quality moments. (Currently has a rating on IMDb of 8.1). My rating: 7.8
Secondly, Quality of Life, a truly independent film about a couple of "graffiti-writers" in San Francisco. Made with an unknown cast (one of the main characters was an actual graffiti artist with no previous acting experience who was being consulted on the screenplay, but was asked to stand in when the lead dropped out a week before filming began). There was an interesting Q & A with one of the producers after the screening, who gave an insight into the problems of making a low-budget film. Rating: 6.3
