for those of you who haven’t been following the project, the film tells the story of a private contractor who is kidnapped in iraq and buried alive. he has 90 minutes of air left until he dies, and has access to only a phone and a lighter. the entire movie takes place in the coffin, with reynolds providing the only on screen performance. i attended the film’s premiere at sundance and was blown away (you can read my review here). the film played so well to the midnight crowd that it sparked a bidding war overnight, which lionsgate won .
ryan reynolds is one of those actors who is talented, but he needs to pick the right project for him to act. i liked his films, including green lantern, which i felt was underrated, waiting and adventureland. with buried, he makes the finest film of his career, and he will never top it in terms of acting. the idea behind the story is simple, and it' s a film that pretty much only stars reynolds and he manages to make this film work very well. i' ve said it many times before, but films that use small, uncomplicated storylines are better because they leave a lot to the imagination. buried is a terrific film, a unique thriller and one that ranks as s definite must watch. the story steadily builds and the tension unfolds throughout. this is a well crafted thriller that is sure to entertain genre fans. i really loved reynolds' performance, and like i said is his finest to date. if you' re skeptical about his work, i would recommend this film. lately of course, reynolds has had a string of bombs such as r. i. p. d, hopefully one day he' ll make a film that stands out such as this one. buried is a riveting piece of cinema that will keep you on the edge of your seat from the first frame right up to the unforgettable climax. the direction is terrific and while keeping the story simple, it keeps you involved and entertained and ultimately guessing what will happen next. for sheer thrills, buried succeeds and it' s a film that ranks among one of the finer thrillers of the last few years. despite the fact that ryan reynolds stars in this, it shouldn' t take away from the enjoyment of watching the film .

though it was acquired by lionsgate for $ 3. 2 million back in january at the 2010 sundance film festival, “buried” made the rounds at the recently - concluded 35th toronto international film festival, where it instantly drew comparisons to oscar - winning director danny boyle’s latest, “127 hours. ” that finely crafted thriller tells the true story of a daring hiker who was trapped under a boulder for days until he painstakingly cut off his right arm to set himself free .
buried, despite its seemingly impossible premise, is by turns funny, suspenseful, moving and - - in one heart - stopping sequence worthy of indiana jones - - incredibly exciting .
but where “127 hours” was a more open film, in that it showed how its unlucky protagonist landed in his unfortunate predicament while being interspersed with cutaways and flashbacks, the claustrophobic brilliance of “buried” is that the entire film is told from conroy’s point of view inside — and only inside — the coffin. how he got there is never shown, nor are the faces of the insurgents and family members on the other end of the phone (though they are certainly heard) .
there were three films that topped $ 10, 000 on the per theater chart, including one that topped $ 30, 000. that film was
that was the strident belief of rodrigo cortés, the spanish director behind “buried, ” the most deliriously claustrophobic film imaginable – the entire movie is set inside a wooden coffin beneath the sands of the iraqi desert, and the only person ever shown on screen is paul conroy (ryan reynolds), the desperate man trapped inside that casket .

one thing that is very difficult in a film like this is that you are shooting for real time. in a normal film when an actor cries you can cut away to an exterior then go on with the story, but here, you have to stay with the character as he cries, as he recovers and he goes on. you have to be very aware of the rhythm. you have to see the film only as a member of the audience .
buried seeds is inspired by an upcoming book with the same name written by karan bellani. many of the writings, the research from amritsar to manipal has inspired the scenes in the documentary. the film has a lot of narration, interviews, kaleidoscopic visuals of india and touches the core of human spirit – the perseverance, loss, pain and victory .

i recently saw buried and though i immediately told everyone to see the film – and will continue to do so – there are a couple things that bothered me after i saw it. the movie has some interesting tricks to keep the viewer engaged, including building different coffins with varied dimensions to get interesting angles for filming and a clever way of lighting different portions of the film so the viewer feels like they are changing scenes. plus, the story line is much more politically nuanced than expected and ryan reynold’s proves he actually is a good actor .

buried is a one of a kind experience that goes well beyond just a movie with a neat idea. it' s a thriller that really works and is one of the best films i' ve seen all year .
if imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, then director rodrigo cortés and screenwriter chris sparling are pretty much wearing their hearts on their sleeves. that’s because from the moment that their fantastic new film starts — with it’s animated saul bass - inspired opening credits and frenetic bernard herrmann - style musical score — “buried” sets the stage for a brilliantly twisted suspense thriller that would have made alfred hitchcock proud .
minimalist cast: ryan reynolds is the only actor shown. save for one character seen in a video on a cell phone, there' s no one else in the film .
richmond' s dead and buried will rely on much of the same talent behind the persistence of poe. (christine stoddard will write and direct the documentary; david fuchs will produce motion graphics; kristen rebelo will create illustrations; d. j. granger will help with photography, etc .) the crew behind the persistence of poe is young – mostly recent college grads of vcuarts – and based in virginia. they are eager for new opportunities in documentary film, community art, and local history. producing this film would help them achieve a dream while also giving back to greater richmond .
the award for best original screenplay, remarkably, went to chris sparling for
buried
over such presumably likelier contenders as
the king' s speech ,
the kids are all right
and
another year .
paul is one of the hostages who is put in a coffin and buried. inside the coffin, he' s left with a bunch of things. a lighter, a phone, some glow sticks, alcohol and a note .
it’s a gimmick that could have gotten old fast, but what truly makes the film so clever is the way that new information is constantly introduced during conroy’s phone conversations that gradually raise (and change) the political and personal stakes of the story. adding to that tension is conroy’s dwindling air supply, his decreasing cell phone power and an uninvited guest that just so happens to be buried in the coffin with him .

christine' s first documentary, the persistence of poe, received support from virginia commonwealth university and the edgar allan poe museum of richmond. it premiered in february 2013 and has screenings scheduled through june; the film will also be aired on wcve. richmond' s dead and buried will be christine' s first feature project. christine has also produced programming for weta, the pbs station of greater washington, and videos for multiple clients .
you might also wonder why we have to pay for rights to some historical photos and film clips, but not others. most of the images we want belong to the creative commons, but not everything does. several of them belong to the collections of the valentine history center, the library of virginia, the museum of the confederacy, and other cultural institutions that charge for film rights .
and lastly, lionsgate has announced a release date for crash helmer paul haggis ‘ the next three days: november 19th 2010. the action thriller will go head to head with harry potter and the deathly hallows – part i, and the rock ‘s action film faster. the movie is a remake of a french film, about a husband (russell crowe) looking to break his wrongly imprisoned wife (elizabeth banks) out of jail. at least, she says she’s wrongly imprisoned. the film also stars liam neeson, olivia wilde, jonathan tucker, brian dennehy, and rza .
between the two film screenings, a private donor' s reception will take place at 3: 45 p. m. in the entin holocaust pavilion at the federation commemorating kristallnacht and honoring holocaust survivors. special recognition will be given to myrna and dr. david gross. donors who contribute $ 180 or higher to the event may attend the reception and will receive two tickets to the film .
what was the point of that? the story tells us that many such hostages never end up getting rescued. that the ground team tries it’s best but is not enough. buried is the tragic tale of one such hostage in his last hours .

cortés said his compass point for the film was pure hitchcock – the real - time suspense of “rope, ” the confined quarters of “lifeboat” and the paralyzed point of view in “rear window. ” cortés acknowledged the movie had “topics of the moment” with the iraqi setting, terrorism backdrop and the commentary on both corporate cruelty and government bureaucracy, but he said the greater goal of “buried” was always to dig deep into hitchcock’s old turf, a place of tension and intense craft challenges .

hey, it wouldn' t happen like that in real life... that' s bogus !
which kind'' ve ruins the whole suspension of belief thing? this is not that film. with a nod to the master, alfred hitchcock, we are offered several opportunities wherewith the movies have trained us to expect a certain unbelievable outcome... and then quietly denied that expectation. its all very refreshing, in a mesmerizing, hands - around - your - throat sort of way, as a man awakens buried in a coffin and, with his air diminishing, works to escape. ryan reynolds does well portraying nervous anxiety. really very good .

buried alive. it must be a universal nightmare. i read edgar allan poe' s

“buried” may seem like the kind of movie that hitchcock would have made during his heyday, but cortés and sparling do right by their ambitions with a movie that defies modern conventions, right down to its shocker of an ending. the result is an unforgettable cinematic experience that you’ll take with you to the grave .
waking groggy in pitch darkness, paul conroy, an american truck driver working in iraq in 2006, slowly realizes he is trapped inside a wooden coffin, buried alive. with his cigarette lighter, he can see the trap he is in, and he quickly realizes that there' s not enough air for him to live long. he finds within the coffin a working cellphone, which allows him contact with the outside world. but the outside world proves not to be very helpful at finding a man buried in a box in the middle of the iraqi desert. paul must rely on his best resource - - himself .

we have five different lights – the flame of the zippo, the cellphone itself, the green glow stick, the regular flashlight and the red one. we did it with a high sense of practical lighting so everybody perceived it was physical and touchable. i wanted this to be a pyhysical experience – not a film to be seen, but a film to be experienced, so everybody leaves the theatre 4 pounds lighter. so, the audience has to feel they can touch everything and this has to do with the lighting. in a regular film, where there’s darkness, there’s that kind of fake darkness in which the audience assume they’re seeing things that the character cannot see, you have some shade and things like that. but here, you have pitch black .
and center stage for a one - man show is a tour - de - force performance from ryan reynolds as contract truck driver paul conroy, who spends the film’s entire 94 - minute running time buried six feet under (give or take a few inches), with only a zippo and a cell phone to light his way. that phone turns out to be his lifeline to the outside world — specifically, to his family members back home, the iraqi insurgents who are holding him hostage and the government officials who are (supposedly) doing everything they can to secure his release .

buried prayers
will be shown on sunday, nov. 13 at 1: 15 and 6 p. m. in zinman hall on the federation' s boca raton campus (9901 donna klein blvd .) .
ryan reynolds has limited space to work in, and body language more or less preordained by the coffin, but he makes the character convincing if necessarily limited. the running time, 94 minutes, feels about right. the use of 2: 35 wide screen paradoxically increases the effect of claustrophobia. i would not like to be buried alive .

the unsettling film, which opens sept. 24 in limited release and then goes wide on oct. 8, uses an intricate system of sliding panels that allowed cortés and cinematographer eduard grau a wide array of unexpected vantage points and dynamic storytelling opportunities. conroy’s cellphone connects him to the world above and to the unfolding mystery of predicament while his zippo lighter’s flickering flame illuminates his face and his fear. still, despite all that, the film is 94 tense minutes spent inside of a box, and cortés concedes that there were plenty of skeptics as the project got underway .

the coffin is occupied by ryan reynolds, essentially the only actor in the film and deserving of praise for holding our attention single - handedly. not everyone can do that. he plays paul conroy, a civilian contractor in iraq who was driving a supply truck when insurgents attacked and he lost consciousness. now he wakes up in a coffin - - a fairly roomy one, as coffins go, but a coffin nonetheless - - apparently buried in the ground. he has a cigarette lighter, a pen, and a cell phone with him, the latter provided by his abductors, who use it to contact him and give him their ransom instructions .

cortés said with a chuckle .
when they asked me if it would be strained
by the setting limitations ,
i said,' no, it will be indiana jones in a box.'
the movie benefits, certainly, from the surging profile of reynolds, who starred with sandra bullock in last year’s romantic comedy hit “ the proposal ” and also has the title role in “ green lantern, ” the 2011 superhero film that warner bros. hopes will yield a major franchise .
in my way of working, directing and editing are the same. when i start to think about the film, i think of the final result so i’ll get the material i need to get it. so in my case, shooting and editing are two steps of the same process .
now, whether that' s good or bad is a matter of opinion. i appreciate that the film takes the scenario of being buried alive and lets it play out logically, but part of me thinks the movie (which was written by chris sparling) might have been more satisfying if it had taken a more imaginative route - - if it had been a little less realistic, in other words. when it' s done, you think ,
that' s it ?
but then you think ,
well, but what else could have happened ?
this might be as good a movie as could have been made with this premise .

we built seven different boxes, with seven different technical deals. one of them had collapsible walls that we could take out so the camera could describe that circle. we had a nine page shot that describes almost two circles around the actor, it was probably the most complex shot of the film .
ninety minutes of being buried alive with ryan reynolds: didn & apos; t we all suffer that in the proposal? look, reynolds give it his all as an american truck driver in baghdad taken hostage in a coffin to pay for our capitalist sins. but this is gimmick cinema. and it burned me that he got cellphone service in a coffin when mine fades in fresh air.
