Film List Independent Movies Pt. I incl. FREE STREAMS 

The good independent films from the USA meet the key of melancholic country songs. Basically they are created for the country and not the city. Indie is more than just financing a film. Indie is also the way it is told. How much reality can a film stand? Do you see true poverty and hardships? Are there morally questionable understatements? Does what is shown irritate or the way it is shown? The term Indie has been around since the 80s, it is closely connected to the Sundance Film Festival and the first successes of Jim Jarmusch, the Coen Brothers and Spike Lee. Steven Soderbergh's Sex, read and videotapes marks the breakthrough of how an independent film can be big marketed. Since the 90's the Hollywood Studos are also looking for their own "indie departments". Meanwhile the building blocks (Coming of age, drugs, suburbs etc.) are more important than the independent Produkton. Directors like Wes Anderson, Paul Thomas Anderson or Alexander Payne create movies that somehow still seem indie, but aren't anymore. Stars show up, the movies shine expensive and yet they are somehow still cranky. For those who want to get close to really independent films amidst the thicket, we recommend Winter´s bone, George Washington, Keane or Old joy - films as far away from Hollywood as they can possibly be.
