The Skin I Live InMad-doctor horror movie, Pedro Almodóvar style. Almodóvar's come a long way from his '80s films stylistically, but he hasn't lost his desire to shock, offend, and take it to the edge with outrageous subject matter. The fact that he plays this crazy story realistically (with a very reined-in Antonio Banderas in the lead role) and not with the camp melodrama of his post-Franco pictures makes it all the more disturbing. Still it kept me watching, and Banderas has possibly never been better.

The Long Hot Summer (1958). Paul Newman takes a job working for a southern family full of simmering tensions. The father (Orson Wells) wants his daughter (Joanne Woodward) to marry Newman, and keeps quarrelling with his son, whose wife is unhappy, meanwhile his mistress (Angela Lansbury) wants to be his wife, and it all looks as if it is going to end in tragedy and then, rather surprisingly, it doesn’t. It’s an interesting story, I quite enjoyed it though could have done with subtitles at times especially when Wells was talking.

Not sure what to think about this one. The Beguiled 2017 with Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst, Elle Fanning, Angourie Rice, Oona Laurence, Addison Riecke, and Emma Howard. I haven't seen the earlier version with Clint Eastwood so I have nothing to compare with. I thought Coppola's version sucked balls teleread, and would highly recommend you watch the riveting, way superior, one-of-a kind Siegel, Eastwood, Page version ASAP. - it's a subversive and sexually charged seventies slice of southern gothic.

Controversial at the time of release, that some French helped the Nazis. Sometimes it was youthful naivety like in Louis Malle's Lacombe Lucien 1974. Aurore Clément, Holger Löwenadler and Pierre Blaise. The young actor who played Lucien (Blaise) was sadly killed in a car accident around a year after this movie was released. He did appear in another three movies.

It¨s one thing to plan the perfect murder, especially if you never planned one before, and another thing in actually committing that murder. Linda Darnell, Rex Harrison and Kurt Kreuger in Unfaithfully Yours 1948. Written and directed by Preston Sturges. And operate a home-recording machine following confusing instructions.

Withnail and IFirst movie I've seen at the cinema since the pandemic, and first time I've watched this on a big screen ever: I never noticed how much make-up Richard Griffiths is wearing in the close-up of him in his last scene (this got a big laugh from the audience). Not quite the larger-than-life comedy full of colourful characters having an endless party that I remember: I'd forgotten how creepy and predatory Griffiths is at first, then how pathetic he is, also how everything comes down to earth with a bang at the end - Griffiths gets his heart broken, the cops show up and spoil everyone's fun, the '60s are ending, Paul McGann has to clean up his act and jettison his former drinking buddy. Also there's a tiny bit of racist banter which, unlike the rest of this movie, hasn't aged well.

Mistress of Atlantis(1932) Tribesmen from the lost city of Atlantis, which is hidden under the Saharan sands, waylay a caravan and kidnap 2 French officers to mate with their Queen, played by Brigitte Helm of Metropolis fame. Watched the English dubbed version on YT, there is also a longer version in the original French, L'Atlantide, there. The visual quality was quite good. 6/10.

What Antonio Banderas' character does is pretty messed up, but his performance is compelling (as is Elena Anaya's).

I haven't seen the movie myself, but I read spoilers. To find out whether BDH's character of Claire survived or not. I guess you were right and I didn't really have anything to worry about in regards to whether she got to keep her head or not after the trailers and this pic had me concerned... In this case I'm glad I was wrong and you were right.
