It’s a little hard to wrap your head around the concept presented in director Crystal Moselle‘s Sundance Documentary Grand Jury Prize winner The Wolfpack, but before you dig into the just released trailer, have a look at the official synopsis:
Locked away from society in an apartment on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the Angulo brothers learn about the outside world through the films that they watch. Nicknamed the Wolfpack, the brothers spend their childhood re-enacting their favorite films using elaborate homemade props and costumes. With no friends and living on welfare, they feed their curiosity, creativity, and imagination with film, which allows them to escape from their feelings of isolation and loneliness. Everything changes when one of the brothers escapes, and the power dynamics in the house are transformed. The Wolfpack must learn how to integrate into society without disbanding the brotherhood.
Buzz out of Sundance was big for this one and Magnolia is releasing it in theaters on June 12, check out the trailer as well as an interview with Moselle below.
