Attack Of The Lederhosen Zombies. Do I have your attention? Of course I do! Lederhosen zombies! Yes, from the Alps of Tyrol, Austria comes a horror comedy that dashes Out Cold snowboarding humor into a Romero zombie stew. Humor meets ski-village infestation, and gore meets a white, snowy backdrop in need of some red coloring. Does sophomore filmmaker Dominik Hartl create a legendary zombie epic in the process? Not quite, but that doesn’t mean ski-bums and Z-nation worshipers alike won’t have a wintry hellscape worth a few chuckles and winces. Go ahead and punch your lift ticket – the ride’s a bumpy one, but still worth the price of admission.
It all starts with a hopeful vacation destination, an investor and a glowing green serum that – when blown through fans – produces perfect man-made snow. Assumed owner Franz (Karl Fischer) is trying to unload his Alps resort, but ends...

*full disclosure: an online screener of this film was provided by Level 33 Entertainment. Director: Dominik Hartl. Writers: Armin Prediger and Dominik Hartl. Cast: Laurie Calvert, Gabriela Marcinková and Oscar Dyekjær Giese. Few horror films emerge from the cold climes of Austria. There has been Dead in 3 Days (2006), but there has never been a zombie film, until now! In Attack of the Lederhosen Zombies, Domink Hartl has looked to films from the past, including Dead Alive (1992) and Shaun of the Dead (2004), to create a comedic outing. Attack of the Lederhosen, which could have been easily named Snowboarders vs. Zombies, pits several sports enthusiasts against a growing zombie horde. The blood and comedy skits fly about. Some of the material sticks, while a bit more misses its mark. The film, at seventy-two minutes, was originally set to be a student film, but it has been extended here. The film comes across as slightly long,...

360
Written by Peter Morgan
Directed by Fernando Meirelles
UK/Austria/France/Brazil, 2011
360’s writer Peter Morgan has declared that the film is directly inspired by Reigen, an 1897 play notably adapted to film by Max Ophüls as La ronde in 1950. The title of Morgan’s work, directed by Fernando Meirelles, derives from the 360 degrees of a circle, and the film notably begins and ends with the exact same scenario; things are destined to repeat themselves. La ronde and 360 are both portmanteau films, which have become especially popular in the last decade thanks to directors like Alejandro González Iñárritu with Babel and Amores perros, and the commercial and awards success of Paul Haggis’ Crash. While these films – that either examine a particular city or country, or take place at various locations around the planet – at least attempted to reflect on specific social anxieties that acted as recurring themes, 360 seem to draw entirely...

In a photo studio in Vienna, a sleazy photographer (Johannes Krisch) is coaxing a young Slovakian woman, Mirkha (Lucia Siposová), into posing for her first nude pictures. We soon find out this man is also a pimp, and the pictures are for luring clients on the internet. Her younger sister Anna (Gabriela Marcinkova) tries to persuade her to reconsider but Mirkha has her mind made up. She needs the money and wants to change her life. Her sister intones through darkly humorous voiceover, “If there’s a fork in the road, take it.” It’s a highly provocative opening for what ends up being just a so-so anthology of interwoven tales, even though director Fernando Meirelles ("City Of God," “The Constant Gardener”) assembles an impressive international cast for stories spanning Vienna, Paris, London, Bratislava, Rio, Denver and Phoenix. Jude Law plays a family man on a business trip to Vienna,...

Title: 360 Magnolia Pictures Reviewed for Shockya by Harvey Karten Grade: B Director: Fernando Meirelles Screenwriter: Peter Morgan Cast: Anthony Hopkins, Ben Foster, Dinara Drukarova, Gabriela Marcinkova, Jamel Debbouze, Johannes Krisch, Jude Law, Lucia Siposova Screened at: Review 2, NYC, 7/24/12 Opens: August 3, 2012 “If you see a fork in the road, take it,” says a wise man in a quote that frames Fernando Merielles’ “360.” If this gives the impression that the film will be like a Zen koan, impenetrable for some in the audience but allowing epiphanies by others, that effect would be incorrect. Instead, “360” comes across as basically naturalistic rather than stylized, a straight story [ Read More ]...

"Now we've grown up... become different people." Magnolia Pictures has debuted the official Us trailer for Fernando Meirelles' sexy dramatic thriller 360, an intertwining ensemble that dazzlingly weaves together the stories of an array of people from disparate social backgrounds in intersecting relationships. Rachel Weisz stars as one of the central women, along with Gabriela Marcinkova and Lucia Siposová. The cast includes Anthony Hopkins, Jude Law, Ben Foster and Jamel Debbouze. I'm rather intrigued by this trailer, I love its use of music, it builds a very seductive look at this drama, now very curious to see it. Here's the first official Us trailer for Fernando Meirelles' 360, in high def from Apple: Inspired by Arthur Schnitzler's 1900 play La Ronde, in 360, director Fernando Meirelles (City of God, The Constant Gardener, Blindness) and writer Peter Morgan (The Queen, Frost/Nixon, Hereafter) combine modern and dynamic original stories into one, linking...

Dave here with my first report from the London Film Festival, which Craig introduced you to on Thursday. We'll start with the Opening Night Gala.
Jude Law and Rachel Weisz as unfaithful marrieds.
Fernando Meirelles' 360 seems a fitting selection to open a film festival, sold as a "dynamic and moving roundelay" that takes us across the spectrum of people on the globe. But this is globalization for the West; just forget, for two hours, that Asia and Africa and Australia exist and that people might have sex there too. Peter Morgan's script works like a daisy chain, flimsily linking together a collection of character shells who spread out across Europe and America, reverberating off one another. Mirka (Lucia Siposova) ventures into prostitution to the disapproval of her sister Anna (Gabriela Marcinkova); Michael (Jude Law) is her first client, whose wife Rose (Rachel Weisz) is having an affair with...

The BFi London Film Festival got off to a cracking start last night with the gala screening of Fernando Meirelles' 360, the globe-spanning ensemble piece starring Jude Law, Rachel Weisz, Anthony Hopkins, Jamel Debbouze, Ben Foster, Moritz Bleibtreu and more.
Law led the assembled stars alongside much of the film's European cast, including Vladimir Vdovichenkov, Lucia Siposova, Gabriela Marcinkova and Dinara Drukarova. Also in attendance that we spotted were Tom Hiddleston, Terry Gilliam and Bonnie Wright and much of Blighty's film industry movers and shakers.
The London Film Festival continues until October 26; look out for 360 at cinemas all over early next year, we're guessing.
In other Lff news, a couple of extra events have just been added to the schedule: there's a Seth Rogen & Will Reiser interview happening for 50/50, and a Woody Harrelson talk in connection with his new effort, Rampage. Get after it!

360
Directed by Fernando Mierelles
Written by Peter Morgan
It’s not difficult to see why the organisers of the 55th London Film Festival selected the new film by Fernando Mierelles, the spherically titled 360, as the opening night gala film. As well as being written by British scribe Peter Morgan (The Queen, Frost/Nixon, Hereafter) and starring three of the UK’s most successful acting exports in the forms of Anthony Hopkins, Jude Law and Rachel Weisz the film also presents a global tale than spans four continents, in a fashion that echoes the festivals international remit, considering its strands devoted to World Cinema, Cinema Europa, French Revolutions, New British Cinema, and many other experimental and historical programming frontiers. It also doesn’t hurt in having a few fantastically beautiful people to power the necessary red carpet star wattage for the all important gala publicity and punditry, it’s such a...
