  Black Bag 2025

  ★★★★½ Watched 22 Mar 2025

  smart and sexy with a fun story and full of MOVIE STARS. it’s ridiculous how starved I was for a movie like this. My one mild complaint is that there was too much bloom in the photography; just a little too soft a image at times. But this was a genuine blast. Marisa Abela is going to the moon after this

The only von Sternberg film I’ve seen prior is Shanghai Express, which absolutely fucking nails down tone. So I was confused. Then I read that nearly a third of the final cut is done…
