Empire
In a Quentin Tarantino movie, the arrival of a group of people into a confined space is usually a cue for bloody carnage. In Sally Potter’s peppery dinner party comedy — The Hateful After Eight, if you will — the shots fired are of the verbal kind, but just as devastating in their own way. This satirical dissection of the secrets people keep, filmed in stark black and white, calls to mind The Discreet Charm Of The Bourgeoisie. In Luis Buñuel’s surrealist romp a group of middle-class types is inexplicably trapped at a dinner party; here, the door is at hand but hostilities unfold in such sudden and unexpected ways, no-one gets a chance to use it.
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.
