Rian Johnson Opens Festival with The Brothers Bloom
In his sophmore feature outing, writer-director Rian Johnson (Brick) deploys a dynamic cast—including Rachel Weisz, Adrien Brody, and Mark Ruffalo—in a rollicking, round-the-world road movie about a pair of dedicated con men who think they’re taking an innocent New Jersey heiress for a long ride.
Johnson’s new film, The Brothers Bloom, opens the 31st Starz Denver Film Festival tonight at 7:30 PM at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House.
In this podcast episode, Johnson and film critic Robert Denerstein discuss the making of The Brothers Bloom and Johnson’s ascent as a filmmaker.
