Homepage - VHYes A film by Jack Henry Robbins VHYES A bizarre retro comedy shot entirely on VHS, VHYes takes us back to a simpler time, when twelve-year-old Ralph mistakenly records home videos and his favorite late night shows over his parents¡Ç wedding tape. The result is a nostalgic wave of home shopping clips, censored pornography, and nefarious true-crime tales that threaten to unkindly rewind Ralph¡Çs reality. ? CRITICS SAY... ¡ÈThe comedy here is high enough that simply being funny would have been enough, but VHYES strives for meaning as well, which is what makes the film such a special delight. ¡É ¡ÈBounces along with the exuberance of its young hero and will remind you of the experience of trying to make sense of the world as a child. ¡É ? Jennie Kermode, EYE FOR FILM ¡ÈVHYES is filled with heartfelt hilarity. ¡É ? Evan Saathoff, BIRTH. MOVIES. DEATH. ¡ÈThe sort of film that will seep into your consciousness and find its way into your dreams. Perhaps it will alter your perception of reality. Perhaps reality is less than this. ¡É CLICK THE FACES TO PRE-ORDER ON VOD VHX APPLE TV ?CONTACT US BOOKING: Andrew Carlin 630-445-1215 PRESS: Sydney Tanigawa 212-219-4029 ext. 41 GENERAL INQUIRIES:.
2020. Not even after the first month of the year ended, with calamities all over the world, and then this in my recommendation. ?. Plot Twist *Hermione appears at the end and Alohomora. Courteney should make a song:ITS My turn On ThE XBOX. Yall should do one with Gus Johnson again, and see if he will still be undefeated. Looks like we just saw the whole movie, Thanks. Seems like Harry was finally arrested for his war crimes.
Bei bojack hätte ich das Ende ohne die letzte Folge glaube ich besser gefunden. Insgesamt aber eine tolle Serie. An engaging absurdist VHS collage which also features the director¡Çs parents, Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon Dir. Jack Henry Robbins. US. 2019. 90 mins Deliberately scattershot and naïve, this engaging, absurdist collage, shot entirely on VHS tape, smuggles a serious message beneath its 80s poodle-permed public access television pastiche. It¡Çs Christmas, 1987, and 12-year-old Ralph has unwrapped a state of the art video camera. He grabs the nearest tape (his parents¡Ç wedding video) and starts recording. His subjects ? forbidden late night television, his best friend, his parents¡Ç fracturing marriage ? are disparate. But gradually, the seemingly random elements thread together and something loosely approximating a plot appears. An unexpected left turn in the final act, from wry comic nostalgia into genre, is less successful than the endearingly clunky recreations of workout videos, advertising, shopping channels and oddball amateur TV oddities. The chipper found-footage structure and skittering editing which reflects the attention span of a 12-year-old boy means that the picture never drags The first feature from Jack Henry Robbins evolved out of two short films, Painting With Joan and Hot Winter: A Film By Dick Pierre, which premiered at Sundance in 2017 and 2018 consecutively. It is tailor-made for festival audiences: the combination of its affectionate use of lo-fi VHS filmmaking technology (presumably the first brush with homemade cinema for many audience members) and its nod towards today¡Çs culture of obsessive self-documentation will make for an appealing program addition for festivals after the film has its international premiere in Rotterdam. Too quirky and slight to generate much momentum theatrically, the presence in the cast of comedienne Charlyne Yi, Mark Proksch ( The Office, What We Do In The Shadows) and Robbins¡Ç parents Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins might provide a marketing angle. The erasure of the wedding video, choppily obscured by the kind of cultural ephemera that a pre-teen boy might find attractive, has a certain poignancy. Through the glimpses of footage that Ralph captures of his parents, it becomes clear that the marriage is struggling. We hear muffled late-night recriminations as Ralph hides the camera under the bed covers, trying to conceal the fact he has been taping softcore porn from the television. This is the most significant of the story strands which gradually cohere over the course of the picture, as the amusing but initially disposable sketch format gathers momentum and a series of mini-threads emerge. A toxic relationship between two formerly married shopping channel presenters deteriorates live on air; the gauche host of a front room music show, ¡ÇInterludes with Lou¡Ç, has a real-time lesbian awakening; the banal public access show ¡ÇPainting With Joan¡Ç reveals an unimaginable darkness in the soul of Joan (Kerri Kenny, great fun), the chintzy middle-aged lady who keeps ¡Èlucky bones and hair¡É in her bedside cabinet, ¡Èto keep the night terrors away¡É. The chipper found-footage structure and skittering editing which reflect the attention span of a 12-year-old boy means that the picture never drags, but neither does it achieve much in the way of depth. Perhaps the most interesting element is the suggestion that VHS was the starting point for a cultural shift. Ralph records a brief clip of a televised interview with an author who has researched the impact of home video use and discovered ¡Ètape narcissism¡É, a pathology of the home video user which will eventually alter their relationship with reality. ¡ÈIt¡Çs the beginning of something very frightening. The world will exist to be filmed. ¡É But then Ralph loses interest and tapes a global warming themed porn movie instead.
