The Neon Demon (2016)
Visually Intoxicating
After Jesse has an interview at a big modelling agency, her new agent advises her to lie about her age and tells her she is going to be the next big thing. Jesse's new world is completely narcissistic and we learn how bold yet completely naive she is.
Her first gig is organised with a prestigious, albeit creepy photographer who instantly makes everyone leave the room and asks her to remove her clothing – a raw and uncomfortable scene which really captures how men often take advantage of young women in the industry.
This was one of many cringe-worthy moments (cue necrophilia and cannibalistic scenes) but at the same time, the film was so visually intoxicating. I left feeling divided – it was definitely a feast for the eyes but as far as storyline goes, a little confusing and underdeveloped.
The Trip to Spain (2017)
Relentless banter and brilliant impersonations
Despite the sense of underlying sadness, the relentless banter and impersonations keep us entertained. This time around we get brilliant impersonations of Roger Moore, Sean Connery, Mick Jagger, Michael Caine (and we can't forget the impersonation of Mick Jagger IMPERSONATING Michael Caine). All the while amongst this; a delicious serving of fine foods, close-up shots of delectable seafood being seared and steamed on backdrops of tranquil towns and villages in Spain.
A lighthearted comedy, though a lesser version of the previous two in the trio with an odd ending!
