When did you first get the idea for
The Resort?
It all came down to us being in Hawaii on a vacation. We were walking by the property, and we saw it was fully abandoned. All the greenery was overgrown and dead. It just looked really creepy. Some of the rooms had broken windows, with sheets hanging out flying in the wind. It was crazy looking.
So I asked Will Meldman, the executive producer: “Hey, we should film a movie here because this is a really cool place…” He had some connections with the property, so we were able to take a little tour. We were walking through this incredible location and I said, “somebody has to film a movie here”, and then we’re like ‘okay well if someone’s gonna do it, maybe we should do it!’

About Endlessness
(Roy Andersson)
The arrival of a new Andersson movie every few years should be heralded as an event, even if the idiosyncratic Swedish auteur seems to be running out of things to say. Where 2014’s A Pigeon Sat On A Branch Reflecting On Existence and 2007’s You The Living seemed like decent companion pieces to 2000’s masterful Songs From The Second Floor, finding interesting new ways to work within the absurdist tableaux format that is Andersson’s preferred mode of expression – About Endlessness feels thinly sketched and not especially insightful.
The coronavirus pandemic has had a major impact on the film industry. Movie theaters continue to operate with enhanced health and safety measures, following CDC recommended COVID-19 safety guidelines. Some films are tentatively scheduled for big-screen releases while others will be available digitally via video on demand.
