Sundance - Interview with TEETH'S Mitchell Lichtenstein

more Sundance @ http://www.zoom-in.com/blog

I had a great time at TEETH. Lichtenstein is a really funny guy and does a wonderful job with his actors, particularly Jess Weixler, who gives a winning performance as Dawn. I identified with Dawn completely, which might seem weird, but it isn't, because Weixler is so sympathetic and sweet in the role. Equally great was John Hensley as her brutish step-brother.

mitchell is one of my favourite directors, and i really enjoy his performance in the wedding banquet, too.

I didn't really get the sense he was embarrassed to be interviewed. I'm just wondering if maybe his time in front of the camera has passed for a reason or maybe having been an actor, he doesn't work well without a script. I don't know any adults that could talk openly and without embarrassment about this subject. ;-)

Why is Lichttenstein so embarrassed to be interviewed about this movie? He acts as if he is a little kid with his hand caught in the cookie jar. Is it possible that film making is an anonymous art until someone interviews a filmmaker while on video or is it just the subject matter.

...sorry, that should have been Edo Van Belkom.

I wonder if this film is a rip-off of Edo Van Belkon's book TEETH?
