As my Venezia75 trip is coming to end, it’s only fair that I catch a documentary film before I hail a speedboat home. The chosen non-fiction movie is Carmine Street Guitars, written by Len Blum and directed by Ron Mann.  By Adam Ray Palmer
Venezia75 is spoiling us with two western epics this year. First, we had Joel and Ethan Coen’s The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, and now we have Jacques Audiard’s The Sisters Brothers. I’ve been a fan of Audiard’s work for a few years, largely A Prophet and Dheepan, so how would his first English-language film fair?  By Adam Ray Palmer
Following on from his critically acclaimed Far From Men, David Oelhoffen returns four years later with his 2018 drama, Frères Ennemis (Close Enemies). This Belgian-French picture is also written by Oelhoffen and stars Matthias Schoenaerts, Reda Kateb and Sabrina Ouazani.  By Adam Ray Palmer
And here it is, my most anticipated film of Venezia75 from Luca Guadagnino titled Suspiria, a remake of sorts from the 1977 production. The marketing and build up over the past few months for this movie has been nail-bitingly good, and today my nails disappeared. |
