“Club Zero”
Novak (Mia Wasikowska) is a nutritionist teacher who goes to teach at a select private school, and begins to apply a concept that she herself created, Eating with Consciousness, to a restricted group of students, radically and dangerously altering their diet. At first glance, Club ZeroJessica Hausner’s Club Zero is a serious satire about the dangers of alternative and extreme food practices in the name of health and the planet. More deeply, it is a story about the manipulation and fanaticism of impressionable, well-meaning and naive people for supposedly beneficial “causes” by charismatic people with a great power of persuasion and totally convinced of the truth, usefulness and absolute necessity for the people of what they preach. Professor Novak’s Club Zero (played by Wasikowska as a calm and impassive fanatic) could be a religious sect, a militant political cell or a terrorist organization (read the review here).
“The collector of souls”
Directed by Osgood Perkins, son of Anthony Perkins, this horror film is —exaggeratedly— accompanied by the label of “the scariest of recent years.” maika monroe (I will follow you) plays Lee Harker, a lonely and self-absorbed FBI agent who investigates a succession of horrific massacres committed by parents in their homes over several years, and always on the same day as their daughters’ birthdays. Behind them is Longlegs (Nicolas Cage, who is also one of the film’s producers and is not a criminal, being well involved in the strange character), a serial killer who may or may not have supernatural or extrasensory powers. Osgood Perkins is not a director of basic and gratuitous scares and makes a film that relies on style, atmosphere and suggestion to give you chills, although the story is somewhat murky and twisted and has echoes of films and series such as The silence of the inocents either Secret Filesas well as the films of David Lynch (read the review here).
“Deadpool and Wolverine”
Another film from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Deadpool and Wolverineby Shawn Levy, promotes the meeting between the sarcastic anti-(super)hero in the red and black uniform, played by Ryan Reynolds, and “the” X-Man par excellence (or, to be more precise, one of the many alternative Wolverines of the multiverse, since the “official” one died in loganby James Mangold in 2017), played as always by Hugh Jackman. This odd, all-dividing duo must come to an understanding in order to defeat a supervillain, Cassandra Nova, the evil twin sister of the X-Men’s Professor Charles Xavier, who lives in the Void between parallel universes. And she wants to get her hands on a time-interfering device secretly constructed by the film’s minor villain, Paradox, to transform everything into a vast void.
