This trailer for Like Crazy is the purest definition of an indie film ever. Even without the horrible sound mixing of the trailer it just reeks of independent filmmaking. I can’t tell you why the music overshadows half of the dialogue in this trailer, but what I can tell you is that this film won the Sundance Film Festivals “Best Picture Grand Jury Prize” and “Best Actress Special Jury Prize” for Felicity Jones’ performance.
It looks like this year’s Blue Valentine, which was a film I held in my top 10 best films of 2011. It has a great young cast: Anton Yelchin (Alpha Dog, Charlie Bartlett, Star Trek), Felicity Jones (Northanger Abbey, The Tempest), Jennifer Lawrence (Winter’s Bone, X-Men: First Class, The Hunger Games ), and Charlie Bewley (Twilight New Moon and Eclipse). The director is unknown to me, Drake Doremus (Douchebag; Moonpie), but if a director can pull off the biggest award of Sundance than he is someone to look out for and I’ll definitely be waiting in anticipation for this film!
Check out the full trailer and synopsis of Like Crazy after the jump and be sure to look out for this film when it comes out October 28!
Synopsis via Apple Trailers: A love story is both a physical and emotional tale, one that can be deeply personal and heartbreaking for an audience to experience. Director Drake Doremus’ film Like Crazy beautifully illustrates how your first real love is as thrilling and blissful as it is devastating. When a British college student (Felicity Jones) falls for her American classmate (Anton Yelchin) they embark on a passionate and life-changing journey only to be separated when she violates the terms of her visa. Like Crazy explores how a couple faces the real challenges of being together and of being apart. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize for Best Picture at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival and of the Special Jury Prize for Best Actress for Felicity Jones, Like Crazydepicts both the hopefulness and the heartbreak of love.
