Remecca Lenkiewicz is a direct debut Hot milk It opens with a quotation from the Louise Burzoas artist who perfectly records his disturbing and enigmatic tone: “I was in hell and back. And to tell me I’m beautiful.”
This is slippery, subversive storytelling that is very difficult to get any company – but it is one of his main pleasures. Film, Custom from Deborah Levy’s bestselling novelIt seems first as a rite of the passage story. But there are also comics, then sudden explosions of violence, surreal interleses, and even bits of the Sapphic summer romance.
Sex education Star Emma Mackey Game Sofia, a beautiful young student of anthropology that followed his mother tied to wheelchairs (Fiona Shaw) Almeria in Spain. They’re not there on vacation. Rose is a mortgage house to pay treatment from the healer, Gómez (Vincent Perez). It was strange, she could sometimes walk – but then she would immediately pull back to her wheelchair. Her physical diseases have their roots in last trauma in her private life.
Whenever he can escape from the mother, which is holding on a narrow leash, Sofia spends his time in order to be up and down the beach, vocatory. There is a mysterious rude Ingride here (Vicky Cryps), an incredibly glamorous figure that drives on horseback and cadses cigarettes from her. Soon start an affair.
Mackey is exceptional in the role Originally intended to Jessie Buckley (Who had to leave for scheduling conflicts). As a problematic young anti-heroine, it combines great with vulnerability. She is a FIOF figure that says very little and neglects old men who pull on her. We always make sense that her mind is performing over overrun. The work of Margaret Mead, the American academic famous on the road to the South Pacific in the study of adolescence and for the attempt to detect whether its mizars that are filled with the wedge universal or caused by external factors.
Mackey’s Sofia takes equally analytical approach to human relations. It is very difficult to report why everyone around it acts in such a strange and manipulative way. All the characters look like they have either stains or keep secrets, even free, which is adorned, which suddenly does not blur that someone has killed someone.
Lenkiewicz’s loans as a screenwriter include all of the TV A secret diary called girls to the Polish Drama Oscene Oscene Id (2013), about the young woman soon to become a nun. As a director her approach is a low key, but probed. It is concentrated on the persons of their characters, observe the most minor changes in the appearance and behavior. There will occasionally come to dramatic visual blossom: records such as Sofia on wheelchairs underwater or her react to a jellyfish stab or intentionally melodramatic scene when Ingrid is seen through the beach for the first time. There is a great set seeing that Sofia suddenly returns by giving up on her sense of rage and head after neighbor on the neighborhood with a fish knife, like Jack Nicholson in Brilliant.
With all this in mind, Hot milkThe feeling is far closer to those European filmmakers like Poor things‘s Yorgos Lanthimos and Jessica Hausner (Director of the Strange Ben Whishaw Sci-Fi Mali Joe) than on all conventional realistic and British. This is a hair and an unusual film, but rewarding one, full of dark humor and speaking to your emotionally damaged protagonists and bitter games playing with each other.
