get ticketsThis is the last review of Bloom I will ever read.
Deep and heartfelt thanks to Andrew O’Hagan at the Evening Standard for such kind words, and to everyone I’ve had the pleasure of meeting here in London at the Bloom screenings.
Bloom is playing this week in major cities, and should be spreading into smaller cities in the UK over the next few weeks.
London Q&A’s!
To promote the Brothers Bloom finally opening in the UK on June 4th, I’m coming to London for two q&a screenings, one on the 3rd and one on the 4th. Come on down and say hello! Links and info are right here.
"Writer/Director Rian Johnson’s follow-up to the marvelous Brick is a bit like a Quiche - mightn’t look like much on the outside, but inside its absolutely delicious."

Download the Original Shooting Script
I’ve posted the original shooting script on my site as a free download for the curious. Enjoy!
(via movieoftheday)
"The Brothers Bloom rewards multiple viewings because the characters are constantly operating on multiple levels—what the plan is, how they expect it to play out, what they actually want to happen, etc. Repeat viewings, with more knowledge of motivations, provides new, emotionally fascinating insights. This film is packed with charm and humor, yes, but its success lies in its love for its characters."
— Jeremy Mathews from DVD Talk reviews the Brothers Bloom disc (available now!)
At long last, The Brothers Bloom is available for purchase in the states on DVD and Blu. Spread the word!

I don’t want to give anything away, but you should listen to the /Filmcast’s top 10 of 2009 podcast. Especially David Chen’s list. Especially the end of it, where he talks about his #1 of the year. Not to give anything away.
