Oh man, South-By-Southwest is almost here.
Ten days of crazy parties, taco trucks, tech talks, a Vanyaland party, music showcases from every label under the sun, and -- perhaps most importantly in 2017 -- a crazy good film festival, full of world premieres from the biggest studios and esoteric delights from all over the globe in every genre.
We’re super excited to be covering the festival in an expanded role this year, and before we head down to the great city of Austin, we’ve picked a selection of five films from a gargantuan list that stand out to us the most as must-sees. We're excluding SXSW opening night film Song to Song, which we’ve already covered.
For screening times and other information on these five films and everything else showing at SXSW 2017, click here. As we count down the days, let’s get it started, y’all.
Becoming Bond
This documentary highlights the previously untold story of George Lazenby, the Australian male model, who had never acted before, who’d go on to replace Sean Connery as James Bond in 1968’s (criminally underrated) On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. If anything, it’ll be as funny and crazy as Lazenby’s life story: For instance, he got the role because he’d happened to be getting a haircut at the same time as the series’ producer, Albert Broccoli, and the latter decided Lazenby looked the part. He’d have an utterly bizarre career after that, but this doc’s chronicling of one of cinema’s most reviled and most fascinating on-screen replacements is totally exciting.
