Blue Ruin, which he shot-directed himself, was produced on an extremely small budget.
|
|
His breakthrough film, 2014's Blue Ruin, was a revenge thriller, while his latest (his third overall and first since Blue Ruin), Green Room, traps a punk-rock band in a siege scenario, as they try to withstand an assault by white supremacists.

|
Blue Ruin generally flew under the radar even though it managed to generate buzz from seemingly every person who saw it.
|
|
Mr. Saulnier, whose previous color-coded exercise in mayhem was "Blue Ruin," needed some detestable bad guys, and he chose well.

|
|
If you know the name Macon Blair, it's likely from his starring role in writer-director Jeremy Saulnier's revenge thriller Blue Ruin.

Blair appeared in former Sundance favorites Blue Ruin and Green Room, both films that marry deftly sketched characters with startling brutality at times.

In Blue Ruin, a trauma victim attempts to avenge his parents, even though he's supremely unprepared for the level of planning and ruthlessness that will be necessary.
|
|
With Blue Ruin, you emphasized how important it was to you to get out on the road, to capitalize on exterior shots and a variety of settings.
|
|
A lot of directors with a success like Blue Ruin probably would have gone up to a larger budget level, $20 million or $30 million or so.

|
|
The film debuted at Sundance this year and took home the grand jury prize, further solidifying Blair, who also wrote the film, as a creative force no longer indebted to Blue Ruin.
|
|
Saulnier's latest, Hold the Dark — a Netflix-funded adaptation of William Giraldi's novel of the same name, scripted by his frequent production partner and Blue Ruin star Macon Blair — mostly fits the pattern.
|
|
The new season was originally set to be entirely helmed by Jeremy Saulnier, the brilliant director behind Green Room and Blue Ruin, but Saulnier left the production after finishing just a few episodes.
|
|

|

Saulnier worked mainly as a cinematographer and cameraman before getting Blue Ruin off the ground (he'd previously directed the micro-budget horror comedy Murder Party), and his time behind the lens is more than evident from his economical, often subtly witty compositions that don't get in the way of their stories.
|
|
Blue Ruin was widely described as a kind of homage to the Coen brothers, with its cascade of violent incidents and ironic confusion, and Saulnier's initial pitch to potential backers was that the movie would be like the Coen brothers' No Country for Old Men but with a protagonist who is an idiot.

The lineup also includes opening night film I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore, which marks the directorial debut of Blue Ruin star Macon Blair; the comedy Brigsby Bear starring Kyle Mooney of Saturday Night Live; and the Jenny Slate dramedy Landline, which is Gillian Robespierre's follow-up to Obvious Child.

Over the course of his three previous films — Murder Party, Blue Ruin, and Green Room — he's developed a reputation for intense stories punctuated with startling violence, but none of the intensity would be possible and none of the violence would be meaningful if he weren't so focused on stories about people who are ill-equipped to handle either.

Leonard White, a captain of James Clinton In 1852 or 1853, a man named Woody set up a saloon at a place on the Willamette River about two miles north of the present town of Junction City, from which Woody dispensed a type of liquor known as "blue ruin." Woody had a large number of relatives and these and others formed a settlement which was called Woodyville, or more commonly, Woody's Landing. The Woodys declared Woody's Landing to be the head of navigation on the Willamette, and for a time this appeared to be the case. However, they were prone to pilfering the goods dropped off at the landing, and if anyone complained, they were roughed up by one or more of the large and bellicose members of the Woody family, or Woody tribe, as they came to be called.

Following the Tote rally, concern over the status of live music in the city of Melbourne led to the formation of three separate organisations: SLAM (Save Live Australia's Music), a group that commenced organising a larger rally in late January-early February 2010; Fair Go 4 Live Music (FG4LM), "an informal collection of people" whose aim is "to protect and support Victoria's live contemporary music scene"; and Music Victoria, Victoria's first contemporary music industry peak body— funded by the Victorian State Government—that was founded in early 2010. Representing SLAM, rally co-organiser, and former Blue Ruin singer, Quincy McLean, contacted police and the Melbourne City Council on 1 February 2010 to securing a permit for a larger protest to publicise the issue that was affecting venues like the Tote, the Lomond Hotel and the Railway Hotel in North Fitzroy. McLean explained to the Age newspaper: > This is going to happen whether they like it or not. It's got too much > momentum, it's too big to stop now.
