Creepy in many ways but mainly in a Verhoevan way. A few lush and lurid dream sequences save the day
Tale of unrelenting boredom and drudge of young newly wed woman, Uma, and how it pushes her beyond her limits to proper craziness! Weird, funny and disturbing tour de force from Bollywood actress Radhika Apte.
Antidote to the old cowboy and injun westerns, more in the Sam Peckinpah mould. Written, directed and starring Vigo Mortensen though Vicky Krieps as the fiercely independent homemaker dominates the film. Its slow pace and survival narrative reminded me of Mortensen and the boy in The Road not least his twist on the ending of his quest to the ocean. But not the end of the world this time instead "the start of another".
Never did want to go on a cruise ship and this says I never will. A lurid neon prison which the cinematography captured perfectly. A place of boredom, drunken excess and regret.
