Ползвезды за гомоэротику на полшишечки — я даже сначала думал, не режиссёр ли это Отца и сына (2003) (нет, у Сокурова слишком хорошо) — и ещё одна за игру актёров. Правда. Вот в играх почему-то актёры вообще не умеют говорить как живые люди, а тут очень хорошо.

A Romantic protagonist, ready for anything, going through inhumane suffering? Check. An offbeat womanchild of a heroine? (Should France have its…

Beau Is Afraid 2023
If not for credits, I'd never even think it could be made by the author of Midsommar -- but eventually, it makes some sense. It's as if Ari Aster has decided to make the exact opposite of Midsommar while still keeping some of his signature tropes (not the best of them, though).
In fact, I'd much rather believe it was made by Yorgos Lanthimos! Because. Horror devices with no horror whatsoever? Check. A social critique of so many things simultaneously…
