			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1895" src="http://sainteliotandco.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/redbucketnyt.jpg" alt="redbucketnyt" width="433" height="500" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify">Fresh off the heels of the romantic and alluring <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1189259/"><em>The Pleasure of Being Robbed</em></a>, Joshua Safdie has teamed up with his brother (and fellow <a href="http://www.redbucketfilms.com/">Red Bucket Films</a> mate) Ben Safdie on <em>Daddy Longlegs</em><em>, </em>also known by the title <em>Go Get Some Rosemary</em>. The film&#8217;s two titles are indicative of the film&#8217;s own dual identities. If you watch the trailer available now <a href="http://www.apple.com/trailers/independent/daddylonglegs/">via Apple</a> and then <a href="http://www.redbucketfilms.com/daddylonglegs/trailer.html">watch what&#8217;s on the Red Bucket website</a>, you&#8217;ll see two different films.<span id="more-1894"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify">The first looks undeniably earnest without crossing into tearjerker territory, and nods to the type that Ronald Bronstein&#8217;s performance is already garnering. Yet it seems mostly familiar, fiting the mold of &#8216;indie film&#8217; as it exists as a genre: catchy twee pop, hip silliness, a warming message. The second film, though, looks more harrowing, honest, and brave; most affectingly, the trailer is longer unaccompanied by intrusive music.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">We don&#8217;t need <a href="http://sainteliotandco.com/blog/let-her-rip/">Manohla Dargis</a> to tell us the reason the film looks so different on Apple than it does on Red Bucket&#8217;s site: money. Via Red Bucket, the film has more in common with the Dardenne Brothers than Wes Anderson. But if the Anderson market already exists, why not exploit it?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">I wonder whether or not this repackaging matters. Marketing fill theaters: after that, isn&#8217;t it the film that matters? And if the film remains the same (despite how it&#8217;s sold), I&#8217;m hesitant to nail IFC to the cross just yet. They may simply help the film reach a wider audience&#8211;regardless of what that audience thinks they&#8217;re going to see.</p>
