last night' s london film festival showing of brick lane, the much anticipated movie version of monica ali' s 2003 novel about a young bangladeshi woman in an arranged marriage in east london, disclosed a gentle, humane film. it was sweetly acted, and evidently conceived by director sarah gavron on a more modest, domestic scale than the book. certainly its gentleness and humour seemed a world away from this summer' s nasty row, triggered by plans to shoot the film in brick lane itself .
rian johnson, the award - winning writer / director / editor whose debut cult film brick (2005) won a sundance award gave an inspiring masterclass talk to nfts students with his cousin the composer nathan johnson .
as to the language of the film, i thought it was a smart move to have the brick glossary [ promotional materials ] so you can go into it thinking
oh,' bulls' are cops .
when brick hit at sundance then came out theatrically later in 2005, the film flipped audience' s expectations about what both high school dramas and film noir could be. creating such an original combination of two familiar genres did not mean making this film was an easy task for johnson - - far from it. instead, johnson has said that he wrote the original screenplay when he was 23 and made the film when he was 30, spending his 20s trying to make it happen .

few film awards have ever been more deserved than the special jury prize for
originality of vision
that johnson and brick won at the 2005 sundance film festival. (a few weeks ago, johnson also won the best original screenplay award from the san francisco film critics .) johnson has parlayed the critical success of brick into the brothers bloom, a film set to begin shooting in march 2007 on a budget 40 to 50 times the $ 500, 000 it cost to make brick. rachel weisz has been cast as the female lead; at this writing, there is no word on who will play the eponymous brothers .

brick is the type of movie that could work as a silent feature, but what will stick with most audiences long after the movie ends is the story johnson manages to tell in under two hours. johnson is a true student of film, and it’s clear from brick that whatever story he’s attacking will pay tribute to the stories that came before it. that’s why polanski’s chinatown and brick are so often paired together; it almost feels like the sequel that people were waiting on, although with a flair that’s so uniquely his .

take film noir, a generous dose of high school intrigue, a dash of david lynch, and toss them all into a blender. what you get is probably going to be brick. that, or charges for the murder of david lynch .
“reaching the college and community market was critical to our strategy. film sprout not only got us there, but also came up with other inventive ways of getting attention for the film…and earning us revenue. ”
like the best noirs, brick is a triumph of attitude, and there' s no arguing that its brand of deadpan cool is precisely unique .
high school: in addition to taking place in a high school, brick was filmed in san clemente high school, which the director once attended .
director fritz lang experimented with sound (and the striking pioneering use of leitmotif, to associate a sound with a film character) in this early crime film (and lang' s first sound film). it starred peter lorre (in his first lead role) as hans beckert - a child serial murderer .
“film sprout was the perfect partner for us. not only did caitlin boyle and team help us find partners for community screenings, they helped the film make a real impact. they brought the film to new audiences week after week, raised awareness for the project and were simply a pleasure to work with. ”

the film also made considerable use of matte paintings - projections or paintings placed behind foreground objects to trick audiences into believing the actors were in a different location (for example, the view of the emerald city at the end of the yellow brick road) .
eventually his own family stumped up the initial $ 200k investment in brick, which cost a total $ 450k to make and his cousin nathan composed the music for the film in which every character had his own musical theme, like prokofiev’s peter & the wolf .

similarly, johnson has created an extremely strong and loyal fan base through his web site. over the past two years he has posted more than twelve hundred messages to
rian' s brick forum ,
engaging in friendly conversation with the more than nine hundred fans who to date have contacted him. many of them, not incidentally, are film students, film writers and budding filmmakers themselves. (for the sake of full disclosure, the author of this article has posted eighty - two messages on the brick forum. )
and in many ways, it is. brick is a movie that was never going to be successful or shoved under a microscopic lens in the same way the last jedi will. it’s only because of that freedom that johnson was able to make the film he did. the exploration of film that he wanted to experiment with can be seen in brick. each scene is a poster, each line is well - thought out and defined. each actor knows their place in the story and no one tries to outdo the other .

brick is the closest thing to a teenage version of roman polanski’s chinatown; a noir - film that could exist on the beauty of its shots alone if you removed the dialogue. with the dialogue, however, brick is one of the most captivating films. johnson uses his young cast to tell a story much older than the characters they’re supposed to be playing. there’s an eloquence to brick that most films, independent or otherwise, targeted at teens don’t have. but it also comes across entirely non - chalant, like this was the movie that johnson was always supposed to make .

five years after his first film, rian got to make the sci - fi blockbuster looper (2012) that gave him the chance to work with a list stars such as bruce willis, emily blunt, paul dano and joseph gordon - levitt who he’d first worked before on brick .
american filmmaker rian johnson is a happy textbook story: after a childhood spent making films using his cousins for cast and crew during summer, johnson wrote his first feature film, brick, at age 24, in 1997, and spent the next six years trying to find the money .
with kenneth murphy. brick is also executive producer of shadow 19, an original science - fiction feature written by jon spaihts in development by joel silver at warner brothers .

if you saw the internet in passing last week, you just might have caught wind of a small story about rian johnson joining a modestly successful sci - fi franchise to write and direct a future episode. for his sake, i certainly hope the first movie in the announced trilogy doesn' t tank, or johnson may be out of a job. as i read that story, i was reminded of the austin film festival script - to - screen panel i moderated with johnson this past october to discuss his first feature film, the high school film noir brick. now only days away from principal photography on my first feature film, this feels like the perfect time to revisit our conversation to learn from johnson and his experiences making this original take on the film noir genre .
paul walker ’s “ brick mansions ” took in a moderate $ 400, 000 in late - night thursday showings in the u. s. , according to industry estimates .
while film critics and fans debated the value of time - travel and whether they would ‘…go back in time to kill hitler” or not, for rian the film was, “…about the feeling of reacting to something you’re angry about, the primeval instinct to inflict violence as a response & the fact that’s not really healthy. the film is about violence vs. nurturing. ”

brick is one of my all time favorites, and one of the best

even though it takes place in the modern day, the characters in brick all speak in an invented slang closely based off of vernacular speech in the' 20s,' 30s, and' 40s. the high school social cliques match surprisingly well with traditional noir archetypes. much like its inspirations (such as the noir classic, the maltese falcon), one of brick' s main strengths is in its hard - boiled dialogue. the film also boasts excellent cinematography and strong performances .
brick lane as a film location is a microcosm of londons shifting ethnic patterns. what used to be poor slums and an area riddled with crime for the jack the ripper murders, is now the funky, vibrant, trend setting heart of east london, leading the way in vintage goods and underground cool .

i liked the film when i first saw it, but it wasn' t that great the last time i saw it .
johnson is clearly inspired by old school noir films and it shows here. his direction is very creative for such a low budget feature and his editing keeps the film visually interesting. it felt like a darker, more grounded edgar wright film at points .

when i think of brick, the first thing that comes to mind is the dialogue. not only is the dialogue specific to film noir, the slang is specific to brick itself. in fact, the slang is so specific, even the film' s protagonist brendan has to run new slang terms by his intelligence counterpart (aptly named the brain) to figure out what they mean. with such heightened dialogue, johnson certainly ran the risk of alienating his audience. at the aff panel, we screened the first dialogue scene of the film when brendan takes a distressed phone call from emily at a pay phone. i then asked johnson to walk us through this scene and how he used it to introduce both the story and his stylized dialogue :
but the lead convener of the campaign against monica ali' s film brick lane, officially launched yesterday, vowed to continue with the protest irrespective of where the movie is filmed. abdus salique threatened to burn ali' s book at a rally on sunday which is expected to be attended by hundreds of protesters .
movie simply called brick suggests a musical version of tennessee williams' s cat on a hot tin roof, though that would need to be accompanied by an exclamation mark. the film is, in fact, a refreshing private - eye thriller in a style now widely identified as neo - noir, and the brick in question is a block of heroin. the term film noir was coined in 1946 by french critic lino frank to describe the dark hollywood melodramas that flooded parisian cinemas after the end of the nazi occupation and there' s now a pretty general agreement that its heyday was from the early 1940s to the late 1950s .
' brick' refers to a brick of heroin, which sounds like a familiar term but is in fact invented. the names of the protagonists are equally inventive: as well as the pin and brendan (played by joseph gordon - levitt, best known for his performance in the television series 3rd rock from the sun), we have dode, biff and frisco .
if nothing else, the concept of a high school film noir is a shrewd attention - getting move for a first - time filmmaker like mr. johnson .

5. brendan - theprotagonistbrendan is the only one who doesn’t smoke or drink, which is unusual for the lead in a film noir. this could suggest innocence. the film charts his downwards spiral as he looks for and discovers emily who has died, this is shown through his costume (he wears white symbolising purity at the start and his clothing gets darker throughout the film, his hair and clothes get messier and he is badly injured and covered with blood by the end). he seems to have a clear moral compass throughout the film, despite the events he faces. as he is a high school student, he is unusually young for a film noir protagonist .

critics were generally positive about the film' s visual effects, casting and action, while criticism focused on a perceived lack of the satirical elements that are found in the source comic and on excessive violence. despite the positive critical response, the film lost money at the box office. dredd saw greater success following its home release, and has since been recognized as a cult film. the theatrical gross made a sequel unlikely, but home media sales and fan efforts endorsed by 2000 ad' s publisher rebellion have maintained the possibility of a second film .
