A couple more of those films I listed in that earlier “tipped for Sundance” item (the source of which was a Film Finders document) have turned up in the Sundance ’06 Premieres section. Terry Zwigoff’s Art School Confidential and Nicole Holofcener’s Friends with Money, to be precise. Holfocener’s film having been chosen as the festival opener raises red flags. As everyone knows, opening-night Sundance flicks have a historical record of being either a bit soft or lacking in provocation or too emotionally simplistic or even mainstream mushy.
