Last Night in Soho

M. Night Shyamalan's Old, starring Vicky Krieps and Gael García Bernal

[domino harvey]

Interesting premise, I’m actually curious for this one

[therewillbeblus]

Vicky Krieps sold my ticket on her own

I also have a prediction for a Shyamalanian twist, which I'll post in spoilers for posterity

Spoiler

The resort customers are placed on a clinical trial under a hallucinogenic substance without their consent, which has the effect of distorting perceptions towards rapid aging and functions like hallucinogens where one begins to see what another person is reporting via ultraconscious groupthink influence. The trailer seems to be very fitting on that last point for the experience of being on hallucinogenic drugs in the presence of others.

Demonic, Neill Blomkamp's new film

Mia Hansen-Løve's Bergman Island

[senseabove]

And it's already been acquired by IFC, so will hopefully be her entry into the ranks of the collection.

Certainly bears the stamp of her brother-in-law’s films.

Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain

It was made by Morgan Neville who made 20 Feet from Stardom, Won't You Be My Neighbor?, and Best of Enemies. I think he is suited for this, and being able to mine a movie out of hours of old footage. You can also see they got access to the final footage of the episode Bourdain was making in France that was never produced due to his death.

Mama Weed, a sort of lighthearted riff on Breaking Bad featuring Isabelle Huppert

[swo17]

Isn't that what Weeds was?

I caught this one at a festival last October. Decent, lighthearted trifle with a couple of fun moments. Audience really enjoyed it. "Mama Weed" is an astonishingly awful title though

The Year of the Everlasting Storm, an anthology directed by Jafar Panahi, David Lowery, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Laura Poitras, Dominga Sotomayor, Anthony Chen and Malik Vitthal.

And on the opposite end of the filmmaking spectrum, Antoine Fuqua's Infinite

tick, tick...BOOM!, directed by Lin-Manuel Miranda

Isn't that what Weeds was?

True - I only wrote Breaking Bad because I just started Better Call Saul, so it was fresh on my mind.

I surprised myself with how much I enjoyed the trailer; but then again, I'm a sucker for anything comedic Huppert does. I suppose "The Godmother" might be a better rendition of the original "La daronne", though perhaps they were afraid people wouldn't get the reference.

Nicholas Cage's new revenge movie, Pig, about a hermit looking for his stolen truffle pig This sounds silly but actually looks like a potentially unique drama(!?)

[Pavel]

Julia Ducournau's Titane

[bainbridgezu]

Pig and Titane are distributed by NEON. Would love to see Criterion release both, especially the latter.

[Pavel]

Don't Breathe 2. Had no idea they were planning a sequel, much less releasing one next month

[Pavel]

Ahed's Knee, the new Nadav Lapid, which had its world premiere a couple of hours ago

[Pavel]

Ari Folman's Where Is Anne Frank?
