The Playlist:
Often described as the WASPy version of Woody Allen, filmmaker Whit Stillman (“Metropolitan,” “Barcelona”) has made a career out of sharp, witty observations of the urbane and affluent upper classes. But so far, all of his films have been largely contemporary, “The Last Days Of Disco” being his one “period” film that looked back on the same class and culture of (white) people in the late 1970s. But by and large, all of his films are of a piece: droll comedy-of-manners pictures with similar societal concerns and preoccupations.
But for his next film, “Love And Friendship,” Stillman will at least examine brittle social interplay from an entirely different era. Starring Kate Beckinsale and Chloë Sevigny, his two muses from ‘Disco,’ Stillman’s fifth film is an adaptation of Jane Austen’s unpublished early novella “Lady Susan.” Here’s the synopsis from Sundance where the film premiered:
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
I know the title cards were trying to outline something, but the trailer lost me. I had to watch it twice.
