A film: BiosphereFrom the indie comedy darling Mark Duplass and first-time feature director Mel Eslyn, Biosphere focuses on a pair of childhood best friends who are hunkered in a bunker, having just survived the end of the world. Given the creators’ track record of spare, empathic films that wring laughter out of the grimmest of circumstances – Eslyn was a frequent Lynn Sheldon collaborator before the director’s death – and the award-winning acting chops of co-star Sterling K.
While the book was a romcom, the film takes a platonic The Fault in Our Tarts pivot, when baker Jane ’s roomie Corrine is diagnosed with cancer midway through. Also features Bette Midler in a supporting role and leather pants. –Starstruck was set up as a Notting Hill-style story about a funny, cool New Zealander living in London, Jessie , who meet-cutes movie star Tom Kapoor in a bathroom, and falls into a relationship that becomes increasingly tricky to navigate.
