Overview

Nate Wilson's The All Golden is a daring formal delight, playfully mixing media and indulging in excess. When polyamorous bike courier Valerie (Lea Rose Sebastianis) injures herself on the job, her much older boyfriend Gunther (Steve Manale) offers to take care of her. Stuck in his apartment, Valerie is forced to confront a suspicion that he's been hiding something from her— something ancient and evil. What unfolds from there is a bewildering dream comedy that feels like watching Rear Window underwater with a concussion, unsettling for some and deeply rewarding for others.

Why You Should See This Film

Referential (and reverential) without being smug, this is the kind of "love letter to the movies" you get when someone has been locked in their apartment with a laptop and the collected works of Damon Packard. An extraordinary work of New-New Cinema, it takes the classic obstructions of DIY moviemaking and turns them into something wonderful in the edit: a dense, textured nightmare of sound overtaking image in a cramped space. Wilson's freewheeling approach to the constraints of filmmaking alternates between maddening and thrilling, and The All Golden is a must-watch for any aspiring microbudget auteurs who want to expand their view of what's possible.
