Dr. Nathaniel Shellner, 75, has led an extraordinary life as a psychiatrist working with traumatized patients fleeing war zones in refugee camps, earning a Nobel Prize for his work. After having one child, Leonard, with his wife, Lillian, the Shellners adopt the remainder of their family from the camps where Dr. Shellner worked. Ultimately the Shellners incorporated children from all over the world into their family: Tommy, Julie, Harry. As Dr. Shellner succumbs to cancer on a frigid, icy day, the family convenes at the house where the couple raised the children for a final, bittersweet farewell. Or, that’s the idea until all hell breaks loose after Tommy arrives and accuses his father of adopting his children not out of concern for their future well-being, but to use them for some warped psychological experiment…
剧情 Bettie Page是上世纪五十年代最有名的海报女郎,性感而疯狂,以一身SM装扮闻名,记得ZIPPO也出过一系列印有她图案的火机。这位广告封面女神风靡了整个美国1950年代,是美国最早的女性偶像之一。她的风情身姿、挑逗眼神遍布明信片、扑克牌和唱片封套,《花花公子》中插页的大胆照片更是激起每个男子的无限幻想。虽然出身虔诚天主教家庭,但这毫不影响她在民风保守的五零年代就大胆地拍摄性虐与同性恋写真集,其影响所及甚至惊动国会掀起全面调查风波。 幕后 说起导演玛丽·哈伦,人们也许还对几年前她编导的《美国精神病人》(American Psycho)记忆犹新,这部被美国电影协会定为NC-17级的影片以其惊悚恐怖的氛围、辛辣的黑色讽刺意味在当时掀起轩然大波。影片中残忍的血腥屠杀与杀手的冷血变态让许多人一度再也不敢深夜里出来闲逛。此次,玛丽·哈伦带来《大名鼎鼎的贝蒂·佩吉》不禁让人心生期待。 午夜的黑暗与白昼的光芒如一体两面般集于一身,贝蒂·佩吉是时尚界的一个传奇。她出身于美国田纳西州一个保守派家庭,正如每个邻家女孩一样的甜美,但是命运把她带到了照相机前聚光灯下,让她迷惑住所有人的眼睛。而参议院的调查则反效果的把贝蒂推上全美的情色偶像之位。成千上万的人疯狂地追随模仿她的一切,深色皮肤、黑色头发、前卷刘海,直到她神秘的消失。观众尽可以在玛丽·哈伦的引导下回溯过去,欣赏这个安静羞赧的南部女孩如何在镜头前与美国大众分享她的半裸身体。当然,影片不会仅止于此。贝蒂的生活点滴和模特生涯透射的是导演对1950年代的性问题、宗教及流行文化的独特诠释,是那个已然逝去但依稀仍存的过去的美国。想怀旧?那么来吧。
It’s been 21 years since Scooter McCrae (SHATTER DEAD) released a new feature film, and he’s lost none of his transgressive bite. Diving straight into a brutal, strange, and upsetting scene between a man and a woman, BLACK EYED SUSAN challenges the audience within the first few moments. It’s not long, though, that the curtain is pulled back like some twisted Wizard of the Oz story, and we find out things aren’t quite as they seem. First, Susan (Yvonne Emilie Thälker) isn’t a person but rather a BDSM sex doll programmed to receive and “enjoy” the punishment of her sadistic partners. She’s the hardware of a cutting-edge tech startup aiming to push her artificial intelligence to new heights. The company that manufactures her hires the desperate Derek (Damian Maffei) to test the limits of her technology and his desires in a low-fi sci-fi horror that delves into the dark pool of love and perversion in our new tech age. - Fantasia, Justine Smith

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).
