I know all eyes are on the new Coen Brothers movie, A Serious Man, which opens Friday—but there’s another high-quality, locally shot movie opening this week: Rob Perez’s Nobody, an indie comedy about an art student seeking the inspiration he needs to finish his final project. The movie opens Thursday, Oct. 1, at the State Theatre, then starts a run on Friday at Block E. It features several local actors, including Sam Rosen and Emily Gunyou Halaas, and contains scenes shot at MCAD, Porky’s on University Ave., The Black Forest Inn, and several other recognizable locations around town. Last week, I attended the cast/crew party at the Riverview Theater in Minneapolis and spoke with Rob, Sam, and Emily about the new film—and discovered, much to my chagrin, that there are no zombies, vampires, time travelers, amnesia victims, or apocalyptic disasters in it. Or, for that matter, very many serious men.
