When filming his directorial debut "Lost River" in Detroit, a city struggling to survive bankruptcy after economic decline, actor Ryan Gosling said he wanted to "eliminate the political minutiae" by using fairytale archetypes. Gosling said, "People are living in specific neighborhoods and conditions that feel like it could only happen in a movie,". The film made its US premier at last month's South By Southwest Festival in Austin. After premiering at 2014's Cannes Film Festival, the film received poor reviews, with Variety's Justin Chang calling it an "inauspicious debut."??
