Not to fear, this isn’t a remake of the classic by Andrei Tarkovsky. Instead, this “Nostalgia” comes from another uh, auteur, filmmaker Mark Pellington, who has directed “Henry Poole Is Here” and “I Melt With You.” However, the most interesting thing about this project is that the script is co-written by Alex Ross Perry (“Listen Up Philip,” “Queen Of Earth,” “Golden Exits“) who is clearly exercising some much more heartwarming muscles, delivering something quite different from his usually acidic pen.

Jon Hamm, Catherine Keener, John Ortiz, Nick Offerman, Chris Marquette, James Le Gros, Amber Tamblyn, Patton Oswalt, Ellen Burstyn, and Bruce Dern all star in the movie that weaves together a mosaic of stories, about how objects and memories shape our lives. Yeah, I know, it all sounds very Oprah, and frankly, the trailer plays like that too. But hopefully, some of these tales aren’t all dewey eyed wistfulness, and have a bit of edge beneath the surface. At the very least, the title makes the film’s intentions very clear.
“Nostalgia” opens on February 16th.
