This is the best summary I could come up with:
She takes her career to the next level in this steampunk-futurist Victorian tale adapted from Alasdair Gray by absurdist virtuoso Yorgos Lanthimos; she plays Bella, a young woman raised from the dead in a Frankensteinian experiment, who has a bizarre series of sexual adventures.
Alexander Payne is a Hollywood director capable of preserving the gritty, organically grown cinema of the 1970s, and his new comedy stays true to the values of Ashby, Rafelson, Altman et al. Paul Giamatti plays a grumpy boarding school teacher who finds himself having to babysit the “holdovers” during the Christmas vacation; that is, the kids who can’t go home.
He plays a middle-aged man employed as a public toilet cleaner, driving around in his van with the serene dignity of a university professor, listening to classic rock: Patti Smith, the Kinks and of course (given the title) Lou Reed.
A harassed film production assistant called Angela travels around, trying to get people to participate in a new corporate video; she has a media side hustle posting TikTok clips pretending to be Romania’s most famous foreign resident: ultra-misogynist Andrew Tate.
Following his Jerry Lee Lewis documentary, Ethan Coen now unveils his second solo directing project away from brother Joel: a wacky queer road-trip comedy inspired by exploitation movies of years gone by, but with a new innocence.
Adapted from the novel Mickey7 by Edward Ashton, this stars Robert Pattinson as an “expendable” – a disposable crew member on a space mission, selected for dangerous tasks because he can be renewed if his body dies, with his memories largely intact.
