Everyone knows that I've been eagerly awaiting the release of Brothers Bloom. Not only do I typically enjoy a good caper/con flick, but we've seen clips of Rachel Weisz doing a bit of sleight of hand and the film features narration by Ricky Jay. See what Alex Albrecht, Dan Trachtenberg & Jeff Cannata think of the film in this clip from the most recent episode of The Totally Rad Show
Additional film info from IMDB:
Long awaited in the wake of his 2005 debut Brick, Rian Johnson's The Brothers Bloom is a magic trick of a film; the second it's over, you want to see it again so you can try to catch how you were tricked, but you also want to see it again so you can return to the joy and wonder of being wrapped up in the nimble, deck-shuffling hands of a born showman. Watching it at first, some of The Brothers Bloom's creative and thematic elements seem like they're on loan from Paul Thomas Anderson (opening narration by Ricky Jay, pop-whiz-bang camera work, the troubled-but-tender relationship between the two brothers) while others feel as if they've been cribbed from Wes Anderson (deadpan confessions, whimsical set design, a parallel-universe setting where people still travel to Europe by steamship).
