Sundance Winner THE WOLFPACK Gives Thanks with 4 Clips

Crystal Moselle‘s film The Wolfpack just won the Grand Jury Prize for Documentary at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, and the subjects of the film, The Angulo Brothers, prepared a thank you for the festival by recreating past winners in their own unique way. Take a look below for 4 new clips featuring recreations of Clerks, The Blair Witch Project, The Usual Suspects, and El Mariachi.

Magnolia Pictures picked up the film at the festival, however there’s no word yet on a release date.

 



The six Angulo brothers have spent their entire lives locked away from society in an apartment on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Nicknamed “the Wolfpack,” they’re all exceedingly bright, are homeschooled, have no acquaintances outside their family and have practically never left their home. All they know of the outside world is gleaned from the films they watch obsessively and recreate meticulously, using elaborate homemade props and costumes. For years this has served as a productive creative outlet and a way to stave off loneliness – but after one of the brothers escapes the apartment (wearing a Michael Meyers mask for protection), the power dynamics in the house are transformed, and all the boys begin to dream of exploring. Armed with unprecedented access into the subjects’ world and vast archive of home movies, first-time director Crystal Moselle crafts a fascinating portrait of an extraordinary family, capturing the thrill of the Wolfpack’s discoveries without skirting the darker questions of abuse and confinement that weigh upon all of them. THE WOLFPACK charts a fascinating coming of age story and becomes a true example of the power of movies to transform and save lives.
