An album that is worth the death / day
Also Mormon’s missionary « Checking » movie Merceris/Heretic (2024) With an outstanding Huke Grant Religious Sofa, an expert in the role of expert and the power of faith « broke ». Even with Oscar Attention Substance/The Substance (2024) With Demi Mor, Mora allowed the television industry to be seen in the colors of the plastic puppet home as a narrow, man -controlled « cult » -controlled « cult ».
The borders of cult also resemble horror satire Opus/opus (2025), created by the independent US Film Studio A24, a dictation for the last decade of cinema tastes. Director Mark Entony Green’s debut work Opus Opens the idea of a cult idea from pop culture prism, namely actor John Malkovich portrays the 90 -year pop star Alfred Moretti, who hosts a music listening session, celebrating the release of the new album. Malkovich’s usual screen eccentricity with which he lives, expands and calibrates in the most unimaginable ways, making this work a separate image. He inhabits a lonely complex nowhere, becoming a Canje West’s counterpart and meditating at a synthesizer Baroque, made by classics Nile Rogers and The-dream. It has to be said, the highest quality of the opus is the performance of Malkovich, although it gains an end to an end in the film.
The scenario reference point is a new, undervalued journalist Ariela (actress Ajo Edebiri from the series Bear/The Bear (2022-)), one among the six invited Moretti guests of the new album. Also her relationship with editor Sten, which is portrayed by another cult series White Lotos/The White Lotus (2021-) Virtuoso actor Mary Bartlett shows the logic of « bread, butter and flies » in the industry: scandals and weirdness are needed every day, especially for your career. Ariela soon realizes that the presentation is not all about music and being a gloriously close, but about… Columns – Moretti calls her followers « Levelers », all wearing identical cloths and stereotypically offering anti -social, loyal, loyal behavior. As usual in one room in horror cinema, mystery and murders are ongoing, with less and less surprising the viewer with the development of events.
It also shortenses about the promising promising of the Author Cockino and Genre Convention Opus could be concluded – formed in glossy aesthetics, it is less engaged in exploitation than a few years ago Elks/The Idol (2022), however, such a schematic horror genre’s work makes it sigh. Especially about the film final with a comment on the commandments of the industry, which reveals what the viewer has long understood and knew. At least it can be seen that Malkovich enjoys « image performances », which organically falls into the role of the actor in the dowry – he enjoys the opportunity to « be John Malkovich. »
Film selection
Seasons. Vermiljo/Vermiglio (2024) ★★★★
Last year, the painting work of Italian director Mauras Delero was awarded with a jury prize at the Venice Film Festival and has become one of the most up -to -date works during the prize season. The pace of the film and the flow, the powerful, ingenious director and the story of the newlyweds’ life in the Italian Alps are the attention of capturing and with a pronounced, lasting aftertaste.
Telma Ideal Family (2025) ★★★★
After Ginta Zilbaloža Tire (The film is still inhabiting cinemas) the latest Latvian animated full -length penguin girl has come to the screens on the eve of a birthday. Reina Kalnse oil (Joke after the alphabet (2015), etc.) The latest work is his most successful director – with a couple of drama and musical objection – but it creates an aesthetically united, living world impression.
Black Bag/Black Bag (2025) has not yet been seen.
American Steven Soderberg has an incredibly productive reputation of the author of the system (Sex, Lies and Video/Sex, Lies, and VideoStape (1999), Oushen gang trilogy (2001-2007)), but his last decade films are more surprising with genres, less with quality. You have to follow and see, as this time, when he chooses the spy thriller genre, Michael Fasbender, Keith Blanchett and many other great actors meet on the screen.
