Rob Zombie's 'Munsters' Movie Ignores Everything That Worked about the '60s Series 'Bodies Bodies Bodies' Star Rachel Sennott Gleefully Tells Delighted Seth Meyers About Her 'First Blowjob': His Intern 2.New Movies + Shows To Watch This Weekend: Disney+'s 'Hocus Pocus 2' + More Ramsay, a director of immense imagination and offbeat taste, forces you to wonder whether that complex is worth it. Everybody knows this is a film about a man with a hero complex, trying to survive a world that hates women. What’s new here is the steep sense of genre awareness. Ramsay’s filmmaking is, as always, fluid and impressionistic. His own past, seen in bits and pieces, grows to clarify what makes him the man for the job. He’s a mercenary of sorts, hired out to save young women from violent prostitution rings at a high expense. Joaquin Phoenix plays Joe, an ex-soldier with memories-including from childhood-he’d rather not have. Though You Were Never Really Here-with its chaotic sound design, constant traumatic flashbacks, elliptical emotional structure, and coy sense of extreme violence-feels like a film about trauma, it is more accurately a film about compulsion. The second time, I realized what I’d missed.

The first time I saw Lynne Ramsay’s masterpiece, I hated it. Joaquin Phoenix in You Were Never Really Here Courtesy of the Cannes Film Festival You don’t watch Zama so much as you wander through it, nipping at Zama’s heels, taking in a scene that includes some of the most unusual depictions of slavery and colonialism committed to screen in recent memory. Martel’s hawkeyed sense of detail and her penchant for unpredictably mobile frames make you feel as if the movie, too, is slipping away. It’s a form of power that somehow, despite itself, withers right before our eyes-somewhat tragically, somewhat humorously, but above all with a grotesque sense of uncertainty. So he wanders, mopes, falls in lust, and wastes away.

You’d think that’d be high living for a man of rank, but Zama is miserable, and his routine requests for transfer back to Buenos Aires-civilization-are constantly deferred or ignored. First ManĪrgentine master Lucrecia Martel’s wonderful 18th-century farce, adapted from Antonio di Benedetto’s 1956 novel, stars Daniel Giménez Cacho as Don Diego de Zama, a Spanish officer stranded at a distant colonial outpost. One of the great overlooked indie films of the year, and a testament to the enduring urgency of local, low-budget filmmaking. Minor characters are painted here with more detail and sympathy than the main characters in many other films. Rather than merely a tamped-down portrait of downtrodden white-guy criminality, however, what emerges from Porterfield’s extraordinarily poised study is a wide-angle, all-encompassing sense of community: of fractured social and personal ties reinforced by a sense of shared fate, geography, and broke-ness-but not brokenness. Working class but not working, Keith verges dangerously close to resuming that life of crime, ankle bracelet be damned. What unfolds is, in part, what you’d expect for a jobless, wandering hero with no immediate prospects. Matthew Porterfield’s fourth feature is, like his previous work, a subtle, razor-sharp portrait of working-class Baltimore-this time told through the striking blue eyes of 24-year-old Keith ( McCaul Lombardi, in a star-making performance), a small-time drug dealer consigned to nine months of house arrest.
