Martin Scorsese Masterclass in Cannes

 

 

 

Bellflower by Evan Godell received Jury Special Award at Fantasporto

"The film was a hit at Sundance in 2011 and went on to make nine times its $17,000 budget. The film is written, directed and stars Evan Godell who also designed and built the camera used for shooting. This combination of old camera parts, Russian lenses, and a Digital camera give the film a visually compelling look that ties in nicely with the post Apocalyptic theme. A very unique story dealing with adulthood and the inevitable pitfalls that plague all of us as we try to find ourselves. Love, friendship, and betrayal are all explored in the film and Godell does not hold any punches. Woodrow, the protagonist and his best friend's obsession with "Mad Max" and ruling a post Apocalyptic world are used beautifully as a metaphor for feeling lost and disillusioned as a young adult in a post 911 world. While the acting does come off like a bad Canadian soap opera...Godell definitely pushes the envelope as a filmmaker and has created a film that evokes a number of powerful emotions. The film is a testament to the fact that anyone can make a film as long as they have a vision, a bit of talent and determination, a whole lot of determination. Jonathan Randall
