PARK CITY, Utah—A hot-blooded crime story whose affectations outweigh its subversions, Love Lies Bleeding is faux-noir that finds Rose Glass struggling to strike an authentically sleazy, sensual chord. As with her prior Saint Maud, the English writer/director delivers quite a few grim and grisly sights with her sophomore outing, all while putting a sapphic feminist spin on a traditional genre tale. Yet despite its explicit flair and committed performances from Kristen... Читать дальше...

It was many years ago that I came across it for the first time. Scrolling down the spine of the internet on an otherwise uneventful school day, my eye snagged on a clip of two farmers lounging at a roadside produce stand. The video was silently auto-playing, as if I’d stumbled across an incident already in motion. Two more characters rolled up in a Jeep and ripped their muscle T-shirts off, apparently spoiling for a fight. Intrigued, I clicked the sound on. Читать дальше...

A few years ago, Lucy Lawless got an email that changed her life. It came from Joe Duran, a former CNN cameraman reaching out to various Hollywood types to pitch one hell of a story. Duran wondered if someone might want to make a documentary about Margaret Moth, a friend and colleague of his who spent years risking her life to capture combat zones in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Israel. Moth, like Lawless... Читать дальше...
