The Color Wheel (2011) dir: Alex Ross Perry
*** Now Available on iTunes, VUDU, Amazon Instant & VOD. JR has broken up with her professor. She enlists her nervous and obnoxious younger brother Colin to take a short road trip in order to help move out her belongings. “Sly, daring, genuinely original and at times perversely brilliant.” - A.O. Scott, The New York Times
Directed by ALEX ROSS PERRY Written by ALEX ROSS PERRY and CARLEN ALTMAN Cinematography by SEAN PRICE WILLIAMS Composed by PRESTON SPURLOCK Starring Alex Ross Perry, Carlen Altman, Bob Byington, Kate Lyn Sheil, Ry Russo-Young, Anna Bak-Kvapil, Craig Butta and C. Mason Wells
More praise for THE COLOR WHEEL:
“Director Alex Ross Perry gives a harsh, sarcastic twist to the intimate rivalry of siblings… [he] directs these uproarious rapid-fire flareups with exquisite comic timing and incisive comic framing.”
- Richard Brody, The New Yorker“Hard to swallow but impossible to ignore, this nihilistic comedy may emerge as a cult touchstone. Sean Price Williams’ grainy, monochrome 16mm camerawork imparts a bleak beauty to the unrelieved sameness of the siblings’ odyssey and lends particular potency to the rug-pulling finale.”
- Ronnie Scheib, Variety“The cinema of the future, I hope.”
– Ignatiy Vishnevetsky, Ebert Presents At The Movies/mubi.com“The Color Wheel has plenty of offbeat style [and] accessibility, being a sheer delight of sarcasm and uneasy wit.”
- Eric Kohn, IndieWire“A New Yorker’s movie in its purest form.”
- Stéphane Delorme, Cahiers du Cinema
