‘Whiplash’: Sundance Film Festival Awards’ rare double winner (photo: Miles Teller in ‘Whiplash’) Directed by Damien Chazelle — and acquired for domestic distribution by Sony Pictures Classics — Whiplash won the 2014 Sundance Film Festival U.S. Dramatic Grand Jury Prize and the U.S. Dramatic Audience Award. The story of a young, ambitious 19-year-old drummer (played by 26-year-old Miles Teller) under the tutelage of a ruthless teacher (J.K. Simmons), Whiplash also features Melissa Benoist, Paul Reiser, Austin Stowell, Nate Lang, Chris Mulkey, and Damon Gupton. Whiplash‘s double Sundance Film Festival win is quite rare. Previous such instances in Sundance’s three-decade history include Tony Bui’s Three Seasons in 1999, Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland’s Quinceañera in 2006, Lee Daniels’ Precious in 2009, and Ryan Coogler’s Fruitvale Station last year. Of these, Precious is — somewhat surprisingly — the only Sundance double winner to have succeeded both at the domestic box office and during awards season,...

Here in New York we can.t avoid running into the lines for Broadway shows. Revivals of the old musicals get a generally older crowd whose favorite expression is "You can.t hum the tunes in a Sondheim musical," as though hummability is the sine qua non of quality. Sondheim is fine. And the fact that you can.t hum the tunes played in part by the Bratislava Orchestra for director Damien Chazelle.s "Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench" is also fine. What.s not so fine is the ragged, grainy, 16mm low-budget aspect of the movie, which Chazelle hopes will be judged as so nouveau, so original, that no sophisticated person can be anything but delighted.

Damien Chazelle’s Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench is a throw back and perhaps a harbinger of things to come, a bebop tinged Diy mumblemusical that, despite its New Wavesque 16mm B&W aesthetic, is very much a movie of this time and moment. It concerns a relatively young, black and talented trumpet player named Guy and his would be, perhaps still his lover, a white grad student named Madeline (the oddly alluring Desiree Garcia). Played by real life Boston jazz scene leading light Jason Palmer, Guy engages in a series of pseudo-romances, bemoans the marginality of the relatively esoteric Jazz he plays and does alot of hanging out. Do he and Madeline break up in the films opening credit sequence or is this when they first meet? Narrative is sparse and conclusions always ambiguous in Mr. Chazelle charming, tightly framed film, one which is always cuing up and off…...

When it comes to the dear dirty town of Boston on film, as of late, there's only been one archetype - it's a playground for criminals and derelicts, Irish-Americans tied to the street and the town. It's completely limiting. Part of the magic, and there's definitely magic, in Damien Chazelle's debut film, Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench, is the way that the tyro director reimagines the city as a place of black-and-white swooning romance, where a young jazz trumpeter, Guy, (Jason Palmer, a real-life jazz trumpeter) and a searching young woman named Madeline (Desiree Garcia) connect, disconnect, and slowly come back into each other's arms. The film - which, impressively, is an original musical pulled off on a non-existent budget - manages to be a strikingly original tribute to the old MGM musicals, with the grit and realness of John Cassavettes or Jean-Luc Godard. After premiering at...

Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench may sound like an unusual name for a film and I guess it is. It is a musical and a drama, with Jason Palmer as Guy, a trumpeter and Desiree Garcia as the seeming object of his desire, Madeline.
Director and writer Damien Chazelle won an Emerging Filmmaker Award for the film at the Denver International Film Festival and now we have a beguiling though not especially informative poster. The words “Stanley Tucci Presents” sound intriguing, though there is no mention on IMDb of the nature or extent of his involvement in the project. From the various quotes on the poster it seems to be a roaring success with the critics and although the film has played the festival circuit throughout 2009 and secured a Us release in July 2010, there is no word yet on when UK audiences might be able to catch it.
