Беллфлауэр, Калифорния (2011)

Bellflower

Вудроу и Эйден — лучшие друзья, перебравшиеся в Калифорнию из родного Висконсина, — одержимы идеей собрать огнемет. Адская стрелялка — продолжение их тянущейся с детства игры в воображаемую банду «Мамаша Медуза»; игры, в которой весь мир, — постапокалиптическая помойка а-ля «Безумный Макс», а сами они — парочка стильных ковбоев-огнеметчиков, сметающих все на своем пути и ловящих кайф от собственной крутизны. Реальный мир оказывается куда гнуснее, чем мир фантазийный: девушка Вудроу изменяет ему с бывшим, экс-подружка Эйдена вожделеет Вудроу…

Bellflower is a 2011 American film written and directed by Evan Glodell. It was produced on a shoestring budget in Ventura, California, and premiered in January 2011 at the Sundance Film Festival. The film was nominated for the Independent Spirit John Cassavetes Award for best feature film made for under $500,000.

Production

Reviewers noted the film's distinctive look, giving credit to cinematographer Joel Hodge's shooting style and the one-of-a-kind camera designed and built by Evan Glodell, who combined vintage camera parts, bellows and Russian lenses, around a Silicon Imaging SI-2K Mini Digital Cinema camera.

Hodge was nominated for the 2012 Independent Spirit Award for Best Cinematography, losing to the significantly bigger budget The Artist. The award was announced the day before The Artist won the Academy Award for Best Picture. Eric Kohn of IndieWire criticized the inclusion of The Artist into awards that should recognize lesser known films, itemizing "innovative cinematographer" Hodge as one of the people harmed by the decision.

Glodell and crew were also inventive in the effects they used in the filming. Glodell constructed the flame thrower central to the theme, and modified the Medusa car. To get a propane tank explosion, live bullets were fired into the tank, narrowly missing engineer/editor Jon Keevil's head. It has been called one of the most dangerous film shoots in history.
