Duke Johnson Introduces The Brothers Quay
This week, MUBI is pleased to exclusively present in the United States a quartet of new restorations and high definition digital scans from two of cinemas great animations luminaries: the Brothers Quay. Starting July 26, we'll be showing Rehearsals for Extinct Anatomies (1987), The Comb (1990), Anamorphosis (1991), and In Absentia (2000).
We're fans, but we're not alone: the Quays' on-the-record admirers include filmmakers from Terry Gilliam to Christopher Nolan to The Duke of Burgundy's Peter Strickland. We reached out to Duke Johnson, the Oscar-nominated animator and co-director (with Charlie Kaufman) of Anomalisa, who spoke to us at Cinefamily in Los Angeles to discuss the Quays' enduring appeal.
Asked about animation's place in contemporary cinema, Johnson said, "I see contemporary cinema as animated, for the most part. Our mainstream films, like Transformers or The Avengers are seemingly primarily animated films. They have live action actors, but they often times have just as many animated characters as well. We live in a world where every film is Who Framed Roger Rabbit nowadays."
"I was thinking of this as I was driving over here," Johnson added, "About how we think 'live-action films, that's sort of real,' and animated films are fake or fantasy. And the lines are really blurred now, but they kind of always have been blurred. Now they're very blurred, like you have The Jungle Book, which stars a real human child, but it's a human child acting with tennis balls in front of a blue screen, and everything else is created by animators. You could flip that and look at a classic like Bambi. You can say, 'That's definitely an animated film, that's not real.' But then, on the other hand, those voices are real. Those are human voices, and the gesturing and the movement that the characters are performing are drawn from human movements and gestures."
"Saying that animation is not real is true, and it's not true. It's not real, but it's the representation of life. But so is live action...It's artifice. All cinema is artifice."

Watch: New 2016 Trailer for Ensemble Heist Comedy 'Masterminds'
"How hard can it be? You load up a truck, and you drive away." Relativity has debuted a new 2016 trailer for the comedy Masterminds, from the director of Napoleon Dynamite - Jared Hess. Most will remember hearing about this before, as it was originally scheduled to be released last year, and we even ran two trailers for it (which were removed) before Relativity pulled it from the schedule. It's now set to open in theaters this fall - though I'm not sure if any new marketing will help. Zach Galifianakis & Kristen Wiig star as a couple who plan a heist that goes right, and they end up with $17 million with their friends Owen Wilson, Ken Marino and Devin Ratray. But once they get the money, things start to fall apart. Jason Sudeikis, Leslie Jones & Kate McKinnon also star. This is supposed to be funny in a stupid way, but it looks dull.
Here's the new 2016 trailer for Jared Hess' Masterminds, direct from Relativity's YouTube:
Masterminds is directed by Jared Hess (of Napoleon Dynamite, Gentlemen Broncos, Nacho Libre) and written by Danny McBride & Jody Hill ("Eastbound & Down") and Chris Bowman & Hubbel Palmer ("Napoleon Dynamite" animated series). David Ghantt (Galifianakis), along with his flirtatious co-worker (Wiig) and a group of half-brained criminals led by Steve Chambers (Wilson), somehow pull of a $17 million heist. The only problem is he foolishly hands the money over to this wild group of double crossers and has been set up to take the fall. But now it's time to turn the tables again. This comedy was originally scheduled for release in August of 2015, but was delayed completely until this year. Relativity will now be releasing Masterminds in theaters on September 30th this fall, if anyone is still curious to see it. Who's interested?
