2011 SXSW Film Festival – Source Code Premiere
Source Code delivers visceral thrills as it kickstarts SXSW festival
South by Southwest, Austin’s indie festival, was christened as a wink to Alfred Hitchcock’s North by Northwest, which zips through Texas on its speedy tour of the US. Lately, the music and interactive wings have taken flight, leaving the cinematic one a little clipped. But the 25th festival returned to first principles, with an opening night film besotted by the Cary Grant adventure.
Right from the titles, it’s clear that for Duncan Jones, the British director whose Moon premiered here two years ago, North by Northwest is not just for Christmas viewing. In a swooping survey of downtown Chicago, freeways criss-cross, the river snakes and doubledecker locomotives power round rails, missing each other by inches. But Hitch’s shadow looms larger than mere train fixation. For this is a tale of mistaken identities and mysterious dames, strange agencies and impromptu heroics – an unabashed entertainment, moving, amusing, difficult to resist.
"Source Code" to open South By Southwest fest on Friday
The movie portion of the annual South By Southwest festival opens Friday in Austin, Tex., with “Source Code,” a sci-fi thriller from Duncan Jones, the director of “Moon.”
SXSW, which also includes music and tech fests in the proudly weird Texas capital, has become an important showcase for cutting-edge entertainment. “Source Code” is an apt movie for that ethos. Director Jones, the son of rock icon David Bowie, made the sleeper hit “Moon” for a pittance, and “Source Code” is a giant leap forward.
“Source Code”is a time-shifting thriller about an American soldier (played by Jake Gyllenhaal) on a mission to stop a terrorist bombing on a Chicago train. The soldier is strapped inside a contraption in the Middle East, but his handler (Vera Farmiga) is able to send him into the future–and into the body of a Chicago commuter–for eight minutes at a time. During each visit, he gathers new information about the plotters–and falls more deeply in love with the commuter’s girlfriend (Michelle Monaghan).
Like “The Adjustment Bureau” and “Inception,” “Source Code” is a mind-bender for multitaskers. It opens locally on April 1.
