A A24 divulgou novos pôsteres de MaXXXine, último filme da trilogia de terror que conta com X - A Marca da Morte e Pearl.

O elenco da produção conta com o retorno de Mia Goth, além do elenco também contar com Moses Sumey, Elizabeth Debicki, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Lily Collins, Halsey, Giancarlo Esposito e Kevin Bacon.

No último filme da trilogia, Mia Goth volta como Maxine, a única sobrevivente do ataque ocorrido em X - A Marca da Morte, e que continou sua jornada em direção à fama. Veremos a sua jornada rumo à fama para se tornar uma atriz de sucesso em Los Angeles na década de 1980, mas acaba sendo atormentada por uma série de assassinatos em série. A forte ligação com Hollywood já era esperado, como já indicou o anúncio do filme feito pelo estúdio.

MaXXXine tem direção de Ti West, que também foi responsável pelos outros dois filmes da trilogia. A produção será uma continuação direta de X – A Marca da Morte e manterá Mia Goth como protagonista.

X – A Marca da Morte já pode ser assistido no Prime Video, enquanto Pearl está disponível no TeleCine.

MaXXXine estreia no dia 11 de julho.

Man from U.N.C.L.E with Costumes by Joanna Johnston

Some reviewers of this movie from 2015 did not like it much, but even those had something nice to say about the costumes which are by Joanna Johnston who has worked on such films as Lincoln, Forrest Gump and Saving Private Ryan.

You see here at the top, Alicia Vikander as Gaby Teller, the young East German woman whose absent father is involved in making bombs for the US military until he went missing. She is then recruited to help find him and gets a new wardrobe to do it in. The film is set in the early 1960s, but Johnston was thinking of later in the decade. "I was primarily looking at fashion magazines of the time of the late ‘60s," Johnston told Carly Mallenbaum for USA TODAY. "I knew I wanted to keep her very youthful, but elegant. Chic; not overtrendy. I think 'fresh' is the key word for Gaby." You see here a lot of orange, a very bright and playful color, as well as a trendy newsboy cap.

On the others hand, Elizabeth Debicki plays Victoria Vinciguerra, a really wealthy and nasty business tycoon, with a more sophisticated wardrobe of black and white. All her looks, are long, lean and seem kind of mean.  

Henry Cavill plays Napoleon Solo, a thief turned secret agent, and gets to wear some natty suits while his mismatched partner is played by Armie Hammer who is the Russian agent Illya Kuryakin who, like most Soviets during the Cold War, does not get a lot of fashion into his wardrobe.

I saw this on HBO and you can find it elsewhere as well, and I must say I enjoyed more than the costumes, but then I am married to a Cold War scholar and remember the TV series for the same name from when I was a kid.

Tenet (2020)

Renting Tenet at home, with subtitles, and the ability to pause/and rewind helped me wrap my mind around its complicated mechanisms. In the theater, I’m not sure what the experience would’ve been. This is a visually arresting picture but so much of the characters’ motivations are shrouded in mystery and its "gimmick" is so mind-bending it’ll make your head spin. I’m still not 100% sure if everything I saw adds up, or if simply got swept up in the whole thing. Either way, those 150 minutes just flew by.

A CIA agent ("The Protagonist", John David Washington) is recruited into Tenet. The members of this secret organization are investigating a technology from the future that reverses the entropy of items or people, allowing them to move backward through time. Aided by his handler Neil (Robert Pattinson), he follows a trail that could spell the end of our past and present, as he encounters an Indian arms dealer (Denzil Smith) and his wife (Dimple Kapadia), state-of-the-art security measures, Russian oligarch Andrei Sator (Kenneth Branagh), and Sator's vengeful wife, Kat (Elizabeth Debicki).

Tenet probably didn’t need the whole reverse entropy thing. Would it have been better as a "normal" spy film? I don’t think so. Shorter, easier to understand, more straightforward but not better. The mechanic of those bullets that fly back into the barrels of the guns that “fire” them, of cars on different temporal tracks racing against each other, and a potential apocalypse from the future is the reason for this movie. It's a joy to step back and realize all of the characters who move in reverse are only doing so from the others' viewpoint. When they fire a gun, we see it as the end of a conflict. To them, it’s the beginning. We've seen time travel before but never like this.

Setting the chronal manipulation angle aside, this is an entertaining spy film that demands your attention. If your mind wanders, you’ll be lost. If you get lost, you’ll probably lose interest. Little is spelled out for you. The Protagonist has a specific objective and is determined to succeed. In most films, this would mean killing innocents just to cover up tracks. This technique sets the mood and amps up the action but also risks alienating viewers from a character. Writer/director Christopher Nolan instead ops to have the hero save or spare bad people for reasons that suit him. It keeps you wondering. You like the hero. He’s charismatic and determined, brave, and capable. Beyond his abilities in the field, you basically know nothing about him – not even his name – but he earns your admiration. You have faith in his choices. Overall, not much information about anyone – save Kat and Sator – is divulged. It’s more that you get an impression of them but that’s enough thanks to the actors' performances.

The whole thing is a puzzle to figure out. No. That's not quite the right analogy. When people put a puzzle together, it’s to see what picture will be formed by pieces that seemingly add up to nothing. Tenet is more like a string of dominos. You marvel at the setup and want to see where everything falls. You’re there to see the techniques that went into this movement. There is a lot of manipulation and subterfuge throughout and surprisingly engaging action scenes. It seems Nolan listened to the criticisms he received during the Dark Knight trilogy and honed his craft. Well done.

Tenet is ambitious. It’s unapologetically complicated, which I found rewarding. The visuals are memorable, as is the "gimmick". The special effects are flawless, the plot that right mix of familiar and so out there you’ve never seen anything like it. I can see some people losing patience with it, saying “I don’t get it” and turning the whole thing off. Go in with patience and I predict you'll be as enraptured as I was. (January 6, 2021)

Back from watching #Tenet at my local #VueCinema (@vue) - fully masked up of course - and the first time I've been back since watching the excellent 'Jojo Rabbit' in January! And I enjoyed it. Once again #ChristopherNolan deploys a fantastical #SciFi concept, a bit more deeper than say #Inception #Interstellar #ThePrestige and feeling like it's more in common with #Memento than any of those films, all the while making you have to pay attention to the plot throughout the movie, although we are given a brief explanation of the inversion concept early on. The cast is pretty good and I liked #JohnDavidWashington #RobertPattinson and #ElizabethDebicki characters, although #KennethBranagh's accent sounded a bit dodgy at times, he played the villain that wants to see the world burn well. The action scenes were impressive too, and I liked the way the inversion concept played out. It made a kind of sense to me 😅 Definitely not a case of sitting back and switching your brain off for a couple of hours or so, it's a complicated Sci-Fi movie with a concept woven into the plot that requires you to pay attention throughout and a movie that probably improves the experience the more times you watch it, as you pick up on the plot beats in the movie. I love those types of movies. Recommended if you like Nolan's previous science fiction movies and something a little bit different.
