It was a critical and commercial success, grossing over $436 million worldwide and receiving praise for Cooper, Gaga, and Elliott's performances and Cooper's direction, as well as the screenplay, cinematography, and music. Principal photography began at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April 2017.Ī Star Is Born premiered at the 75th Venice International Film Festival on August 31, 2018, and was theatrically released in the United States on October 5, 2018, by Warner Bros. It is the fourth American adaptation of the story, after the original 1937 romantic drama and its 19 remakes. It stars Cooper, Lady Gaga, Dave Chappelle, Andrew Dice Clay and Sam Elliott, and follows an alcoholic musician (Cooper) who discovers and falls in love with a young singer (Gaga). This really isn't the type of movie I'd normally be into, and honestly from the trailers I thought it looked like s***, but hey, when it works it work, and this works.A Star Is Born is a 2018 American romantic drama film produced and directed by Bradley Cooper (in his directorial debut) with a screenplay by Cooper, Eric Roth and Will Fetters.
It's an over-the-top and melodramatic story, but somehow he directs it in a way that never feels that way, which is honestly a work of magic on his part.
I think a big part of that is Bradley Cooper's direction, he makes the whole thing feel real and grounded and keeps us with him. There's something about A Star is Born that feels much more genuine in its motivations. It doesn't have the same sense of grotesque self-importance that something like This is Us on TV or any number of Oscar bait movies past have had in their tear-porn intentions. However, I can't deny that the manipulation works and I was weirdly never bothered by the manipulation.
It's tear porn, and it's explicit and deliberate in is manipulative intentions. Here's the thing: this movie is manipulative as hell, don't try to deny it.
