Filmfocus: Serenity Special
To celebrate the release of Serenity on DVD in the UK, Filmfocus are running a Film of the year Special. Many features and they also want you to submit your questions for Joss! |
As Serenity comes to DVD on 27th February, we thought it'd be high time to celebrate our Film of The Year once more and serve up a host of new features for your delectation. Questions for Joss must be with us by 23rd February, so get writing!
"It ain't all buttons and charts little albatross. You know what the first rule of flyin' is? Love. You can know all the math in the 'verse, but take a boat in the air you don't love and she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down. Tells you she's hurtin' 'fore she keens. Makes her home."
When it came to choosing our top twenty-five films of the year, films that had excited us, challenged us and entertained us with the most tenacity last year, one film kept insisting on recognition. One film filled us with passion unlike any other. From the hoards of email we got from readers badgering us to, "give more coverage; what you're doing is good, but, you know, more," to publicists who told us that they'd never had more fun promoting a movie in twenty years or more of work, through staff-members who wouldn't keep bugging their hard-working editor for second screenings and interview opportunities, one film gave us all reason for excitement.
That film was Serenity, Joss Whedon's dazzling space adventure ressurected like a phoenix from the ashes of the TV show Firefly's impromptu death. Astonishing. Whedon had everything riding on his second chance and no other film last year managed to live up to the weight of simply immense fan expectation quite like Serenity. And then it went and set the bar even higher.
So it seemed logical, to us, to give our Film of the Year Award to the film that most deserved it. Like flying, the first rule of filmmaking is love, and the love of all involved in the production and distribution of Serenity was unconditional. They did the impossible, and that makes them mighty.
