Sundance offers laugh in gloomy times
The Sundance Film Festival, the nation's top event for independent film, has mostly been full of dark dramas these last two decades, but this year, organizers promise a broader range of movies.
The festival, which starts today, will be celebrating its 25th anniversary founded as a place to showcase new or experimental voices. The Robert Redford-founded festival is now stepping away from movies that are grim and despairing.
The films that are most talked-about include Brooklyn's Finest, a star-studded cop drama, Mary & Max, a high-profile animated opening-night film, director Marc Webb's romance 500 Days of Summer, and I Love You Phillip Morris, which Jim Carrey plays a con man falling for a male prison inmate.
