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.
You can catch the trailer over at the film’s official website, which doesn’t help in identifying what the film is really about but gives a great feel for its seemingly unique style.
