"Medusa" (idem) - cinema.
A diretora desse longa, Anita Rocha da Silveira, tinha entregue um ótimo filme, "Mate-me Por Favor", uns anos atrás. Logo me interessei por esse lançamento recente. Li pouco sobre a trama, mas a diretora permanece no universo feminino e numa realidade paralela.
depois de ver: o filme anterior me pareceu mais enxuto e eficiente. mas esse aqui ainda não perde em atualidade. a realidade não é tão paralela assim. em dois trabalhos já dá pra ver as digitais da diretora, música, religião, sexualidade.

New Horror 2022 - Day 28
(Image source)
"The Signal-Man" by Charles Dickens (1866)
"What is the danger? Where is the danger?"
This idea of the adventuring British gent who wanders out into the world and feels free to go anywhere by rights is prime horror material, in particular because it’s good to swat down that idea by putting that gent in over his head. Now this story isn’t that necessarily (”A Distant Episode” goes there), but it does highlight that if you think you can just wander into someone else’s business on a lark then you’re fucking around and you will find out.
===
"Hello, My Name Is..." by Nadia Shammas, Rowan MacColl, Licha Myers, Chris Sanchez (2021)
"Workers have names. Management has power."
What is a name but a tracking system? The means by which to search and destroy.
===
Medusa: Queen of the Serpents dir. Matthew B.C. (2020)
"People like that... they're nothing."
I was a good half hour into this movie before I realized this was not the Medusa I was looking for, but I couldn’t just stop watching after getting that far. This one does do something interesting with transformation and a reckoning for the abusers, then it muddles things a bit by trying to justify it all with an explanation. I do like a good explanation, but this one doesn’t pan out.
===
Medusa dir. Anita Rocha da Silveira (2021)
"Don't let yourself be deceived by the worldly people."
Now this is the Medusa I intended to watch, and it’s a different kind of movie altogether. It’s light on the horror but it does present a horrifying reality. That sense of a danger that might feel new but we’ve been facing for millennia. People get scared and they get together to come up with rules and systems that ultimately can’t serve everyone, and then they’re scared of the outliers, and then there’s death, and then one group or another is the majority and the rules and systems remain but in different forms. Anyway, that’s where my brain went from watching this. Systems and death.

Medusa review – body fascists on the loose in heady satire on Brazil’s police state
4/5 stars: Anita Rocha da Silveira’s genre-bending tale of masked religious vigilantes is a genre film with something to say
With its squishy synth soundtrack, candy-coloured teen environs and role-playing girl-gang violence, this second feature from Brazilian writer-director Anita Rocha da Silveira feels like a time-warped precursor to Heathers, Clueless and The Neon Demon. It’s a satirical nightmare inspired by the giallo of Dario Argento, fired by the rise of former president Jair Bolsonaro’s reactionary populism and campily refracted through the televangelising aesthetic of The Eyes of Tammy Faye. Having racked up a string of international festival prizes (Miami, Tromsø, Sitges, San Sebastián) since premiering at Cannes in 2021, Medusa builds on the promise of Da Silveira’s genre-subverting 2015 feature debut, Kill Me Please, confirming its creator as a killer talent to watch.

14 and 23 for the not from the US asks
14. Do you like your country's cinema/tv?
Yes! I grew up watching Globo novelas and miniseries (Avenida Brasil, Verdades Secretas, and A Vida da Gente are my favourites) and that was a huge influence on my cultural repertoire. Now there's also streaming, which gave us the wonderful Bom Dia, Verônica (Good Morning, Verônica).
As for cinema, I LOVE Mãe Só Há Uma (Don't Call Me Son) and I like Que Horas Ela Volta (The Second Mother), both by Anna Muylaert, as well as Medusa by Anita Rocha da Silveira.
23. Country's favoured alcoholic beverage?
Beer, unfortunately. I'll often be the only one at the table drinking a caipirinha, a shot of cachaça with honey and lemon, or literally anything else because I can't stand beer.

Friday Releases for July 29
Friday is the busiest day of the week for new releases, so we've decided to collect them all in one place. Friday Releases for July 29 include Vengeance, Resurrection, Paper Girls, and more.
Vengeance
Vengeance, the new movie from B.J. Novak, is out today.
VENGEANCE, the directorial debut from writer and star B.J. Novak (“The Office”), is a darkly comic thriller about Ben Manalowitz, a journalist and podcaster who travels from New York City to West Texas to investigate the death of a girl he was hooking up with.
Resurrection

A woman’s carefully constructed life is upended when an unwelcome shadow from her past returns, forcing her to confront the monster she’s evaded for two decades.
League Of Super-Pets
League Of Super-Pets, the new movie from Jared Stern and Sam Levine, is out today.
In “DC League of Super-Pets,” Krypto the Super-Dog and Superman are inseparable best friends, sharing the same superpowers and fighting crime in Metropolis side by side. When Superman and the rest of the Justice League are kidnapped, Krypto must convince a rag-tag shelter pack—Ace the hound, PB the potbellied pig, Merton the turtle and Chip the squirrel—to master their own newfound powers and help him rescue the superheroes.
Not Okay
Not Okay, the new movie from Quinn Shephard, is out today.
Danni Sanders (Zoey Deutch), an aimless aspiring writer with no friends, no romantic prospects and — worst of all — no followers, fakes an Instagram-friendly trip to Paris in the hopes of boosting her social media clout. When a terrifying incident strikes the City of Lights, Danni unwittingly falls into a lie bigger than she ever imagined. She “returns” a hero, even striking up an unlikely friendship with Rowan (Mia Isaac), a real trauma survivor dedicated to societal change, and scooping up the man of her dreams Colin (Dylan O'Brien). As an influencer and advocate, Danni finally has the life and audience she always wanted. But it’s only a matter of time before the façade cracks, and she learns the hard way that the Internet loves a takedown.
Sharp Stick
Sharp Stick, the new movie from Lena Dunham, is out today.
Sarah Jo is a naive 26-year-old living on the fringes of Hollywood with her mother and sister. She just longs to be seen. When she begins an affair with her older employer, she is thrust into an education on sexuality, loss and power.
Medusa
Medusa, the new movie from Anita Rocha da Silveira, is out today.
Mari and her friends broadcast their spiritual devotion through pastel pinks and catchy evangelical songs about purity and perfection, but underneath it all they harbor a deep rage. By day they hide behind their manicured facade, and by night they form a masked, vigilante girl gang, prowling the streets in search of sinners who have deviated from the rightful path. After an attack goes wrong, leaving Mari scarred and unemployed, her view of community, religion, and her peers begin to shift.
Honor Society
Honor Society, the new movie from Oran Zegman, is out today.
Honor is an ambitious high school senior whose sole focus is getting into an Ivy League college… assuming she can first score the coveted recommendation from her guidance counselor, Mr. Calvin. Willing to do whatever it takes, Honor concocts a Machiavellian-like plan to take down her top three student competitors, until things take a turn when she unexpectedly falls for her biggest competition, Michael.
A Love Song
A Love Song, the new movie from Max Walker-Silverman, is out today.
At a campground in the rural West, a woman waits alone for an old flame from her past to arrive, uncertain of his intentions while bashful about her own.
Paradise Highway
Paradise Highway, the new movie from Anna Gutto, is out today.
Academy Award winners Juliette Binoche and Morgan Freeman lead this riveting thriller set in the trucking industry and its seamy underbelly of human trafficking. When her brother’s life is threatened, Sally (Binoche), a truck driver, reluctantly agrees to smuggle illicit cargo: a girl named Leila (Hala Finley). As Sally and Leila begin a danger-fraught journey across state lines, a dogged FBI operative (Freeman) sets out on their trail, determined to do whatever it takes to terminate a human-trafficking operation — and bring Sally and Leila to safety.
Paper Girls
Paper Girls, the new TV series from Stephany Folsom, is out today.
It’s the day after Halloween in 1988 when four young friends accidentally stumble into an intense time war and find themselves inexplicably transported to the year 2019. When they come face-to-face with their adult selves, each girl discovers her own strengths as together they try to find a way back to the past while saving the world of the future.
Surface
Surface, the new TV series from Veronica West, is out today.
Set in high-end San Francisco, Surface, stars Gugu Mbatha-Raw (“The Morning Show”) who also executive produces, as Sophie, a woman who has suffered a traumatic head injury that has left her with extreme memory loss. As Sophie embarks on a quest to put the pieces of her life back together with the help of her husband and friends, she begins to question whether or not the truth she is told is in fact the truth she has lived. Through twists and turns and an unexpected love triangle, this sexy, elevated thriller asks: What if you woke up one day and didn’t know your own secrets?
Fanático
Fanático, the new TV series from Yago de Torres Peño, Dani del Águila, and Federico Maniá Sibona, is out today.
When a trap artist’s biggest fan tries to take over his idol’s persona, he finds out that being a superstar isn’t as easy as it looks.
City On A Hill S3
The third season of City On A Hill, the TV series from Chuck MacLean, is out today.
Season three of CITY ON A HILL brings us to Boston’s high society Beacon Hill. Having left the FBI and thrown his badge into Boston Harbor, Jackie Rohr (Bacon) lands a lavish new gig running security for a wealthy family. Life is good until secrets begin to unravel. When an investigation opens, ADA Decourcy Ward (Hodge) sees an opportunity to finally rip out the machinery perpetuating a broken criminal justice system. Siobhan Quays (Banks), representing a construction worker who was severely injured on the Big Dig, encounters the city’s corruption firsthand, all while coping with the traumatic events of her past year. As Jenny Rohr (Hennessy) can attest, given her history with her father, some experiences will haunt you beyond your breaking point.
