We’re All We’ve Got – Moving in 2008 - William J. Hammon, ActuallyPaid.com
When things are at their bleakest, these are the moments we cling to in order to keep going, to survive, and Carucci freaking nails it every time. When all you’ve got is each other, you find a way to make it work. Carucci’s been there. I’ve been there. Too many of us have been there, and for a lot of them, they’ll be back there if they haven’t fallen back already. Carucci seems to have found his break in the clouds via the art of film, and if this is what he’s capable of in his feature debut, I can safely say his future will be bright indeed.

Friday One Sheet: The DOWNHILL RACER Homage, MOVING IN 2008 - Kurt Halfyard, Screen Anarchy
The pleasures of minimalism are on display in Sister Hyde Design's design for the great recession drama, Moving in 2008. Every now and again, I note an homage to one of the more iconic posters of the late 1960s, the Robert Redford sports drama, Downhill Racer. Itself, perhaps, a riff on the memorable key art for Roman Polanski's Rosemary's Baby… Calogero Carucci's tragic story is set during the recession of 2008, catalyzed by unemployment, personal crisis, and illness, where so many middle class American's lost their homes and their financial futures. You can see much of this in the uncertain, melancholic eyes. It is always a good idea to emphasize the eyes in a poster, as it locks in the casual viewer. Windows to the soul and all that.
