France/Belgium, 2017,
French film stylists Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani trade in the crushed velvet and creeping shadows of their giallo-inspired first two films (Amer and The Strange Color of Your Body’s Tears) for a gorgeous, glorious, bullet-riddled tribute to 1960s-1970s Italian crime and action films. A gang of gold thieves takes refuge with a reclusive artist at her ancient compound on a remote, rocky hillside on the Mediterranean. But when two cops happen upon their hideout, this scenic, sun-dappled vacation spot turns into a bloody war zone. Classic Ennio Morricone music cues punctuate the action and propel the homage. “A feverish, obsessive act of cinematic rehabilitation.” –L.A. Times. Adults only! Subtitles. DCP. 92 min.
