Antonino D’Ambrosio’s Let Fury Have The Hour has potential, but I’m still not 100% certain of its message…
Let Fury Have The Hour gives a glimpse into the reign of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, as well as an Adhd look into civil disobedience, propaganda, consumerism, and rebellion in the 20th century. The film starts out strong, focusing on Reagan and Thatcher’s reign, and their common focus on individuality rather than community. This spirals into a narrative showcasing the demise of society as we know it. Rather than focusing on a timeline of facts and opinions that correlate, D’Ambrosio throws an overabundance of information and imagery at the audience. On top of that, there are 50 people giving their opinions about the various subjects covered in the film. You heard me, 50 people! Sound confusing? It is.

Not many would dare stand against Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey in theatres this weekend, but there are at least a few small indie releases offering some alternatives to non-Tolkien devotees. The early projections for The Hobbit are predicting a possible $100 million opening in the U.S., which would be quite a bit more than any of The Lord of the Rings films made a decade ago, but reviews have been lukewarm at best. For those interested in checking out the movie in 48fps High Frame Rate, consult this list of capable theatres. In limited release, we also have the indie dramedy Save the Date starring Lizzy Caplan and Alison Brie, plus the Alan Cumming drama Any Day Now and the '80s activism documentary Let Fury Have the Hour. What will you be watching this weekend? The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Save the Date (limited) Any Day Now...

The ability to openly question and criticize the government is one of the foundations of democracy, and one of the cornerstones of any free country's constitutions and laws. It is not only within our power to elect officials to office, but we also reserve the right to make sure they stand up for and protect the good of the general public who voted them in, and if they don't, we are free to react any way we see fit (within the law, of course). And while the cliché is that great art is often fueled by great strife, there is also a ring of truth to it. And in "Let Fury Have The Hour," a strong case is made that the conservative, individualism politics of the Reagan and Thatcher era 1980s, helped spur punk rock, independent filmmaking and other artistic forms that continue to have an impact decades later.

Antonino D’Ambrosio’s debut documentary “Let Fury Have the Hour” screened as part of the Paley Doc Fest Tuesday, Oct. 9, in association with SnagFilms (Indiewire's parent company), and the event prompted heated discussion about the film's relevance to this campaign season's election drama. “Fury,” which D’Ambrosio preceded with a 2004 book version, explores the power of creative response to start revolution and combat corrupt politics. The film investigates its subject through criticism of the individualism and consumerism engendered by the Reagan/Thatcher era and the role of punk music, poetry, skateboarding, street art and other forms of anti-establishment creativity in freeing people’s minds. It includes commentary from fifty artists and activists, including Lewis Black, Chuck D, Billy Bragg, Tom Morello, Eve Ensler and John Sayles. The film had its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this...

It's Year 11 for the Tribeca Film Festival, and it looks like the fest created by Robert De Niro is hitting its stride.
The 11-day event, which takes place April 18-29, has always been known for its flashy red- carpet premieres (this year's fest is bookended with the comedy "The Five-Year Engagement" and Marvel's latest “The Avengers”) and fun family fare (free Drive In screenings of "Jaws" and "The Goonies"). Tribeca is also branching out into the online world: For its second year, the festival will screen a handful of titles from this year's Tribeca Online Film Festival as well as stream some of its panels.
But if you like to watch your movies the old-fashioned way (in the theater), here are 15 titles from this year's fest that we think you should check out.

This year's Tribeca Film Festival (site) opens on Wednesday with the world premiere of The Five-Year Engagement, which, like Forgetting Sarah Marshall, is directed by Nicholas Stoller, produced by Judd Apatow and stars Jason Segel, and closes on April 28 with Joss Whedon's The Avengers. In the New York Times, Stephen Holden notes that the new programming team (Frédéric Boyer, former artistic director of the Directors' Fortnight, Sundance vet Geoffrey Gilmore and Genna Terranova) have slimmed the lineup down to 90 features from 150 just two years ago: "As a result Tribeca is no longer a catchall basin for middling stray films seeking a showcase." What's more, "for the first time [the] world narrative and world documentary competitions have official opening-night films":
The opening narrative feature, Eytan Fox's Yossi, is the sequel to his gay love story, Yossi and Jagger, for which the Israeli actor Ohad Knoller won a best actor...
