"MUTUAL APPRECIATION"; an interview with ANDREW BUJALSKI

The Movie Show Online interviewed Writer/Director/Editor Andrew BUJALSKI about 'Mutual Appreciation'. From the creator of hit underground film 'Funny HA HA', comes his most recent offering, Mutual Appreciation, which acutely observes post-collegiate life for a group of 20-somethings living in New York. Justin RICE plays Alan, a musician from Boston who is trying to establish his career. Alan hooks up with DJ Sara (Seung-Min LEE), his best-friend Lawrence (played by BUJALSKI) and his pal's better half, Ellie (Rachel CLIFT). BUJALSKI has used non-professional actors and like his previous feature, 'Mutual Appreciation' is about nothing and everything.

[XxskachickxX]

he's amazing.

thats all i have to say

[PtAltmVansanTarr]

The speech in these kind of films is interesting, it's always a wake up call when you see a film that pays attention to speech- Hollywood trains actors to erase accents and to project. It's an area that should be focused on more by filmmakers.

[PtAltmVansanTarr]

The way his characters interact is interesting, little gestures, everyday gestures, etc- it's strange that his films are compelling,I thought the main character from his first film captured a type of feeling yet to be seen on film.

[itssbriixo]

dude omg me and him both have the same last name! im bri bujalski :]

[gageiiiiitttt]

ive watched this film.

i want films that take me somewhere new. i didn't learn anything from it, i don't think it dealt with any issues productively or realistically which is its main problem, even though it references realist film.

its simply looks like someone who likes super 8 cameras indulging himself, without making a film that deals with issues that he justifies its form with.

life can be boring but I'm not gonna watch a film just so i can feel bohemian and one with the avant garde :P.

[ScenematicFilms]

Andrew Bujalski is a great artists. period.

[juleswinns]

this man is the real deal. MA was like watching a new wave film. low budget, no name actors, generic or simple plot but it has a soul. This is cinema (not to be confused with a blockbuster)
