From the same director
Based on a True Story
A Psychological Thriller from master director Roman Polanski. The director assembles an all-star cast: Emmanuelle Seigner ('Venus in Fur'), Eva Green ('Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children') and Dominique Pinon ('Amelie') and delivers a compelling film. The story of a writer who goes through a critical period after her book is released, and gets embroiled with an obsessive admirer. A must-watch for thriller fans or those of the director, or if you're just looking for something different to watch.
The Pianist
Based on the memoirs of pianist and composer Władysław Szpilman, 'The Pianist' is one of Roman Polanski's best films, which in itself is an incredibly high level. Winner of three Oscars - for Director, Adapted Screenplay and Lead Actor, with Adrien Brody - this is a necessary testimony of the atrocities committed during World War II, which will remain forever in your mind.
An Officer and a Spy
Winner of the critics' and jury awards at the 2019 Venice Film Festival, 'J'accuse' is a legal and biographical drama from Polish filmmaker Roman Polanski ('The Pianist'). The film is inspired by Robert Harris' homonymous novel which, in turn, is based on the true story of the Dreyfus Affair, a political scandal in France at the end of the 19th century. The director offers us serious reflections on the scope of justice and the State, in one of the most important cases in history about judicial error and anti-Semitism, in which human rights were sacrificed in favor of the survival of the government. This is the attention to detail in this drama, with solid performances from Jean Dujardin ('The Artist'), Mathieu Amalric ('The Blue Room') and Louis Garrel ('A Faithful Man'), which take a back seat to the controversies surrounding Polanski himself.
Horror
Abigail
Abigail demonstrates why we should keep an eye on the director duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, especially when they have original material at their disposal (they also directed Scream 5 and 6, with mixed results). Abigail is a film that manages to balance the terror and tragedy of its characters with the absurdity of its premise, thanks to a clever script that plays with the conventions of vampire literature, careful direction, and a phenomenal cast (led by Mexican actress Melissa Barrera and Dan Stevens) that fully utilizes their roles. The plot follows a group of kidnappers tasked with a delicate job: to kidnap a millionaire's daughter for ransom. However, it all turns out to be a trap: beneath the guise of a 12-year-old girl, the victim is actually an ancient vampire who likes to play with her food. Like Ready or Not in its time, this film is self-aware, pushing its story and violence to the most absurd and fun limits without falling into self-parody. It won’t change the history of horror cinema, but it’s an excellent (and even stylish for a film of its genre, I dare say) choice for a fun time at the movies with friends.
28 Days Later
Twenty-eight days after a killer virus was accidentally unleashed from a British research facility, a small group of London survivors are caught in a desperate struggle to protect themselves from the infected. Carried by animals and humans, the virus turns those it infects into homicidal maniacs – and it’s absolutely impossible to contain.
The Jack in the Box Rises
When Raven is sent to an all-girls boarding school, she unleashes a demon from a mysterious vintage jack-in-the-box hidden on the school grounds. Will the students make it out alive, or will the demon claim the victims it requires to remain alive?
Nudus
From director Gibrán Bazán, pupil of legendary cult filmmaker Juan López Moctezuma (Alucarda), NUDUS is a science fiction thriller that, with few resources, aspires to create the worst conceivable dystopia of our digital age: a world in which everyone's data is accessible to everyone, and for any purpose, after a major global hack. The plot follows a woman (Carla Hernández) who, upon waking up from a prolonged coma, is confronted by a stranger (Álex Crusa) who seems to know everything about her: everything she has written on WhatsApp and Facebook, all the videos she has sent to her contacts, all the humiliating information she has said in private. From this moment on, NUDUS seems more concerned with the mystery of its characters than with the greater background of their situation, so it becomes more about the exploitation of its female protagonist than a reflection on technology and data privacy. However, despite the plot going off the rails, the situation lends itself to exemplifying a catastrophic scenario of these breaches in privacy.
