"This is what Sundance is really about ... I loved it" - Roger EbertAnd when Ol' Roger boy says something that powerful, its like a stamp of instant recognition. People sit up and listen. All of this for a new indie flick called Man Push Cart, about a Pakistani rock star who ends up selling coffee and doughnuts in New York City.
A few closet Indie cohorts known to me caught this flick at the festival in Venice, where it received uproarious applause and a standing ovation in Sundance. Its out at the Angelika on September 8th, and I am there.
How much do you wanna bet that the Halal on 6th Avenue guys are going to be there First Day First Show. They're celebrities now! Knowing their instinct, they'd probably set up their carts right outside the theater. "People watch cart movie. People get hungry. White soss, hot soss, brother?"
Man, they haven't made a movie about soldiers in Iraq yet, but they've made a movie about Cart Vendors in New York City. Wallah!
Catch the trailer here. (Warning: Slow to load)
