What makes characters unlikeable? When they say or do things that we d do ourselves, given the opportunity to do so without any social repercussions? And why are we impelled to demand characters that are likeable in the first place? In his second feature, writer-director Alex Ross Perry picks up the baton of shame and self-loathing from the novels of Philip Roth, mixes it with the films of Vincent Gallo and Jerry Lewis, and drives it down the psychosexual American highway, revelling in awkwardness and embarrassment. JR (co-writer Carlen Altman), an aspiring weather girl whose celebrity crush is Moses (yes, from the Bible) and unaspiring writer Colin (director Perry, who could be voicing a Muppet), are a bickering brother and sister, travelling on the road to reclaim JR s belongings from the apartment she shared with her professor-lover. This is mainly a pretext to throw these warped siblings with raging ids together in motels, diners, bathrooms (many bathrooms) and public settings including a party from hell and observe their logorrheic-driven superiority to all whom they encounter. Shot on black-and-white 16mm to resemble Robert Frank s The Americans and with rapid-fire Hawksian comedic dialogue, The Color Wheel is a daring, adventurous film that might work extra hard not to be loved, but succeeds as a unique construction in the current landscape of post-mumblecore American indies it s a dark and twisted comedy that pushes the rules to their appalling limits.

The trailer for The Deported. This zany, adventure family comedy pulls at the heartstrings and has you laughing out loud, all the while begging for more. When the unlawful kidnapping and deportation of a down and out Italian-American actor occurs, Gianni DiCarlo (Nicholas Turturro) must muster up everything in him to make it in the beautiful, rural yet dangerous terrain of a small Mexican town back to Hollywood. It will take a group of orphans and everything this actor can showcase to outsmart crooked INS agents (Paul Sloan), out-fight rogue town sherrifs, out-preach a priest (Taylor Negron), out-drink the uncompromisingly silly Charco brothers (Paul Rodriguez and Robert Gallo), out-wit a proud Frenchman (David Proval), out-dig a female grave digger, and even a zealous goat named none other than Mr. Goat. Find out how Gianni overcomes and succeeds in this heroic tale of finding the hero inside us all and making a priority what really matters in life.
