CB: If the indie film fan closest to you was squealing with delight yesterday afternoon you've probably already noticed that the 2012 Sundance Film Festival lineup has been announced, bringing with it the promise of a lot of buzz and glitzy celebration in the high mountains of Park City, Utah next January. I'll be on the ground there for my third Sundance, and I'm looking forward as much as anyone to what's in the store, both seeing some of the indie titles that will rock the film world for the rest of the year (your Martha Marcy May Marlenes and Winter's Bone's, you might say) and also plenty of duds that everyone will pretty much ignore once they finally limp into theaters (The Son of No One).
"Polite Society" has all the workings of a sleeper hit thanks to its blend of action, comedy, and injection of culture to make it stand out.
With the festival regaining full strength, an assortment of cinematic experiences await to captivate audiences. From Cat Person to Cassandro, here our are the ones we can't wait to take in.
'The Night House' evolves from a simple haunted house story to a chilling examination of grief, with plenty of spooky noises along the way.
