Film Festivals are in effect a shopping ground for film distributors, once a distributor purchases the rights, release dates are just around the corner.

The film 2Whatever Works” stars Evan Rachel Wood and Patricia Clarkson Kristen Johnston, Larry David, Ed Begley, Jr., Michael McKean, and Henry Cavill. Evan Rachel Wood takes the female lead in this film. Its quite a significant film for director Allen as he has been shooting predominantly overseas and this is his first film based in New York for some time.

The Tribeca film festival was created by Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal in 2002, after the 9/11 attacks on the World trade Centre and the resulting devastating effect on the Tribeca Area of Manhattan. Its a celebration of international film making and a way of bringing new vitality and vibrancy to this creative area. Get further details at the official Tribeca Film website

Plot and Details:

The film is a dark comedy starring Larry David as an eccentric old man from Greenwich Village who gets caught up in a series of love stories which get him in tangled up with a young girl from the south (Evan Rachel Wood) and her parents. The movie was filmed in New York City.

Verdict.

This is moving back to a more classical Woody Allen type film, along the lines of Annie Hall and Manhattan, a distributor has yet to be found for this film and trailers or any footage of any description will be hard to find. Therefore Unrated but the general vibe on this film in movie circles seems to be good.
