Nate, a 19 year old film student, and Margaret, a 52 year old spinster, are best friends in an odd, quirky, totally working kind of way... until Nate's audacious classmate Darla sets him up on a date with James. Nate's new life shakes apart his friendship with Margaret, who goes off on her own to start a career as a stand-up comedian.
Amanda Fuller is dynamite in Simon Rumley's (Red, White & Blue) mind-bending gothic psychodrama about a fashion-obsessed woman whose life falls spectacularly apart. You're unlikely to see many better performances this year than Amanda Fuller's mesmerising turn as April, a 30-something whose self-image and perception of life is determined by the vintage clothes she wears and sells at a funky emporium in Austin, Texas with husband Eric (Freak Me Out favourite Ethan Embry; The Devil's Candy, SFF 2016; Cheap Thrills, SFF 2013). When Eric strays, a devastated April meets Randall, a smooth-talker with a predilection for strange sexual games. That's just the start of this dazzlingly filmed and superbly edited journey into real and imagined worlds. A killer soundtrack rounds out the best film yet by genre-mashing British ace Simon Rumley (The Living and the Dead).
伊桑·伯格的长篇叙事处女作通过虚构的大学兄弟会的视角,对盲目遵守传统进行了引人入胜的思考。汤姆(亚历克斯·沃尔夫饰)是这个兄弟会的热情“兄弟”,他被高社会地位和校友关系的承诺所吸引,这些承诺为他打开了大门。但随着社交圈外的同学安娜贝尔(哈莉·贝利饰)进入他的生活,他的忠诚度开始动摇。当新兄弟会成员的预定欺凌达到令人不安的程度时,汤姆面临着一生中最重要的决定。在这部独特的电影中,伯格开启了一场可以应用于任何对机构绝对忠诚的例子的对话。沃尔夫的表演令人心碎,他扮演了一个年轻人,质疑曾经构成他生命的每一个信念。约翰·马尔科维奇和丹妮丝·理查兹饰演他贪得无厌的室友腐败而富有的父母——上一代人延续着同样的传统。
