FROWNLAND
USA, 2007, Ronald Bronstein
Is this the next Eraserhead? Ronald Bronstein’s blackly-comic, micro-budget first feature—about the grubby life of a hapless, stuttering Brooklyn loser, Keith, who sells coupon books door-to-door—is getting the kind of reviews that launch major careers: “personal cinema at its most uncompromising and fierce” (The NY Times); “(an) amazingly accomplished first feature (The New Yorker); “a wildly original work of outsider art” (The Village Voice). Shot in grainy 16mm and blown up to 35, Bronstein’s uncompromising portrait of his repellant protagonist—and Keith’s equally pathetic acquaintances (a snot-nosed girlfriend, an aspiring-musician roommate, a standoffish “best friend”)—renders them all not just as freaks, but as human beings. Ronald Bronstein will answer audience questions after Friday’s screening. “Demented brilliance…It’s been a while since something this gonzo turned up at a theatre near you.” –The Village Voice. Cleveland premiere. 35mm. 106 min. www.frownlandinc.com
