Backlog: Mandy (2018)
DO NOT WATCH WITH CHILDREN.
Panos Cosmatos (Director)
Benjamin Loeb (Cinematographer)
Jóhann Jóhannsson (Composer). Rest in Peace.
And most certainly the entire crew and cast.
What a combination.
I finally had the opportunity to sit down and watch this movie. From the endlessly talented, Andrea Riseborough, to the creator of his own style, Nicolas Cage, to the savior of Gotham himself, Linus Roache, what an array of a film. The definitive art house film.
Sprinkles: Andrea Riseborough is one my favorite actresses as of late. Her work is always interesting and she is always fully immersed.
The stillness in the set-up of the film wrapped in ominous waves of scoring topped with splashy title-cards gives way to some truly beautiful and eerily unsettling sequences. And quite literally a moment of stillness drenched in red sets the events in motion. The ride this film takes you on is not for the light-hearted. Not something to watch before bed. It is a hot, clean, or gory rather, tale of well-deserved revenge. I did not know what I was in for other than it is now a revered cult film. And, so it is.
The minds behind this film are something. It is nice to see actors of such high caliber perform in films that are the antithesis of the ‘Academy.’ This is brutal arthouse, and a film that shows. I really enjoy films with little exposition and the characters are built upon via their actions and choices.
There is more I want to say but, it’s a movie you have to experience.
Tail slate: Being a crier, films generally move me in one way or another. I cannot remember if I cried or not for this one but I want to go ahead and give it the coveted ‘Tear Drop.’ (might come up with a better title later)
4 out of 5 tears :’) :’) :’) :’) - but with more shock and awe.
I will probably never watch it again, but glad I did. The Tear Drop meter? Jars of Tears? Liters of Tears ? may be something I carry through each post, but I cannot say for sure.
This blog is still a work in progress and will more than likely be smoothing out the kinks as we go! Thank you for reading and I hope you check out the film, if you are of age!
