Red Lights is movie magic at its very best. Classically conceived and executed, it is an example of pure cinema, constructed by combining thrillingly meticulous filmmaking with extraordinary performances. Rodrigo Cortés (Buried screened at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival) shrewdly straddles both sides of the paranormal argument, creating an analytical conundrum with passion in its story line. In doing so, he fashions an exhilarating cinematic experience where illusion confronts science, and the truth lies hidden deeply within.
E: This film sounds like a real poster-child of the Sundance success story, what with Cortés screening Buried at the fest last year and then gaining this talented actress right before she has a break out performance at the same festival.
C: Yeah, it really is. We got really lucky all the way around with this one. We snagged Robert right after he gained the Lifetime Achievement award, and Sigourney Weaver who was just about to jump on Avatar and is just an amazing woman, and Cillian is just one of the most amazing actors I’ve ever worked with. He’s unbelievable; there’s an Oscar somewhere in his career down the line.
