In an earlier post, I talked about the Vanguard program and contrasted two films from that group.
As it turned out, I saw a third Vanguard film on Saturday. "Colossal" was similar to "Interchange" in that it attempted to combine the real and unreal worlds, but did it in a much more successful way by committing fully to both sides of the story.
Anne Hathaway is an alcoholic writer recently dumped by her boyfriend and back in her old hometown trying to rehabilitate herself. At the same time, a giant monster is destroying parts of Seoul. The plot involves tying the two stories together in a charming and frequently funny way.
One of the more pleasant surprises so far this year.
