A film called Brick that came out in 2005. It was a very good under the radar film.
that's with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, right? ever since I watched Mysterious Skin I've been waaay more interested in him: gonna have to actually watch Brick sometime now.I saw that film a while ago. I agree, it was a very good movie and I would never have seen it except by accident. It's a good modern noir film.
weird, just watched this last night! everything you said about it I agree with. it's a weird diversion from Gyllenhaal's usual style, but it makes perfect sense to me -- he's trying to establish himself as more... legitimate, I guess? but yeah, what really struck me about this film where his eyes. they don't look human. which is good, considering what it's going for. very powerful film, and very thoughtful & complex. I don't really have much to say about it for once!The last notable film I've seen would be Nightcrawler with Jake Gyllenhaal. This is a gorgeously shot film with some great, nuanced performances. I loved what Gyllenhaal did with the character, including all of the physical quirks he put into the character. As an actor i really appreciated the work he put in. With that being said this was a really dark and slimy film. I felt like taking a shower afterward.
