Reality is exaggerated. Many of the Sitges festival aides know this and also Eve Greenwho after check out ‘Dreamers’ by BertolucciIn a Paris on the brink of the 1968 riots, a fascinating ménage à trois embarks on projects that are above all bounded by the laws of everyday life. New example: ‘Nocebo’ (Official Fantàstic Competition)supernatural thriller Lorcan Finnegandirector who inadvertently guessed the reality of being imprisoned with the hallucinatory ‘Vivarium’.
Green, which Finnegan announced on Friday in Sitges as “the first co-production between Ireland and the Philippines,” comes to life Christine, a successful children’s clothing designer, finds her life radically changed in a matter of months after a mysterious encounter with a dog that shakes its ticks.. She suffers from memory problems, insomnia or tremors, but according to her husband Felix (Mark Strong) it’s all in your head. Only Filipino assistant Diana (tea maker), arriving at the door of the house without remembering that Christine called him, seems to have found a solution to his problems. But something in the air says the nightmare has just begun.
Green, who is a good lover of the strange, had vibrated with ‘Vivarium’. “This is why I read this script with interest,” he explains in an individual interview. “I also thought it was an exciting psychological thriller with an important social message.” As Finnegan told us moments before chatting with her, “This role was ideal for Eva: He likes unpopular complex characters and is a very politically conscious person.So he was interested in exploring the themes of the movie.”
Against ‘fast fashion’
Fascinating ‘Nocebo’ is, among other things, an exploration of the effects of gaslighting, a form of psychological abuse that causes an abuser to doubt his or her own judgment. As some studies have shown and remembering the movie, the abuser might say a doctor: “Lorcan made me see a lot of things, especially about Lyme disease. [infección bacteriana que se produce a través de la picadura de una garrapata infectada]. Many women are not taken seriously. And they really suffer until the root of the problem is found.”
But if there is one thing that totally condemns the film, it is our pervasive consumerism and our exploitative model of affordable and casual fashion. “‘Fast fashion’ is destroying our environment,” Green recalls, at the start of a long tirade. “It’s very devastating for human rights. If I’m not mistaken, it’s the third biggest cause of climate change. And people don’t realize how toxic it is to the environment and to ourselves. Neither is all that clothing. It’s not usually recycled, but most of it ends up in huge landfills. People say: why buy a shirt for thirty dollars instead of five? If you’re going to wear that cheap t-shirt thirty times, fine, but don’t put it on once.“.
Tragic looking Bond girl
Daughter of actress Marlène Jobert and dental surgeon (or beware Bresson actress) Walter Green, she tried her luck at the theater without any satisfaction before dazzling and happy with ‘Dreamers’. She kept pointing at a star like Sibyl of Jerusalem. ‘Kingdom of heaven’ or Vesper Lynd’s ‘Royal Casino’A Bond girl who didn’t survive to the end, like Diana Rigg’s Tracy Draco in ‘On Her Majesty’s Secret Service’. “I once saw ‘Casino Royale’ as a great love story, even a great love tragedy, one of the main characters was James Bond. It was also very well written. The verbal exchanges between them were beautiful. unbelievable, almost 1940 starring Katharine Hepburn It’s like an ‘s movie.”
Exactly the screenwriter of the Bond saga, John Logan (‘Skyfall’, ‘Spectre’) gave her one of her most memorable roles, the role of psychic Vanessa Ives on ‘Penny Dreadful’. No, or I will die soon. [risas]”.
We’ll be seeing him soon in another English-French TV series he’s directing on Apple TV+ called ‘Liaison’. stephen hopkins, author of ‘Predator 2’, ‘Demons of the Night’ or ’24’ pilot (with all letters). “It’s kind of sad, but it seems like cinema is dying and television is taking over. I’m lucky to be able to keep working. I’m also doing a lot of different things: you’ll soon see me as Milady from ‘The Three Musketeers,’ and now I’m playing an American soldier. I love being able to explore so many worlds.”
