In a very 2020 move, Villeneuve will be directing both the Dune film and the spin-off TV series Dune: The Sisterhood (a prequel to the film featuring a mysterious all-woman order, called the Bene Gesserit). The Scottish play of cinema, David Lynch called his own adaptation his ‘big failure’, and there’s an entire documentary about how Jodorowsky didn’t even get to make his. Nicolas Ghesquière's Louis Vuitton for Duneīlade Runner 2049 director Denis Villeneuve is the latest to tackle the un-film-able Dune. A seen-better-days gown for their unfortunate realities, and something fit for their fantasies too as Merricat dreams in We Have Always Lived in the Castle, 'On the moon we wore feathers in our hair, and rubies on our hands. Pick any Rodarte collection, entirely at random, and you can find in the line-up a look that would fit any deceptively dangerous heroine in one of Jackson's horror stories. Just like We Have Always Lived in the Castle's Merricat and Constance, the Mulleavy sisters live together just like Jackson herself they are thrilled by the ghoulish and just like hers, their women are ethereal, spooky and surprising. But just for fun, let's imagine the film's female characters decked out in creepy creations by Kate and Laura Mulleavy. One can imagine her expressive her burgeoning creativity in a selection of relaxed suits and eccentric party outfits from Pyo's A/W 20 collection.Ī fictionalised biopic of the mistress of misanthropic horror Shirley Jackson, directed by Josephine Decker and starring Elizabeth Moss? This is going to be a good one! Decker's psychodramas need no eye-catching costume to enhance the delirium their unnerving tension is achieved by the director's signature style, at once naturalistic and dizzyingly experimental. The sequel will be set in the late eighties, during what is hopefully a happier, confident and more fun-filled time in Julie's life. In the first film, Julie's clothes went from hovering between infantile and mumsy–costume designer Grace Snell imagined that mother and daughter (played by real life mother and daughter Tilda Swinton and Honor Swinton-Byrne) shared clothes–to bespoke suits and dresses chosen by her older boyfriend. Her approach mirrors Pyo’s, who looks to past decades but designs for the now. I want something alive, in the moment’ she said of her approach to committing her memories onto film in a 2019 interview. ‘I’m not interested in something past something past is not alive anymore. The Souvenir was set in middle class, early eighties London, an aesthetic rarely explored on film, but Hogg was anxious to hold out against nostalgia. Personally, I haven't been this apprehensive about a sequel since The Human Centipede 2, but I’d feel braver about watching it if main character Julie were clothed in Rejina Pyo power outfits. With its autobiographical, unflinching story of a doomed love affair, it was at times an uncomfortable watch, almost harrowing for some (me). Thanks to her inheritance, she lives alone in an upscale East Side apartment.The Souvenir, Joanna Hogg’s first film since 2013’s Exhibition, seemed to come out of the blue but was quickly received as a quiet, confident masterpiece. Our narrator is a recent Columbia grad whose parents are dead. Unlike Warhol, Moshfegh isn't just observing her sleeping subject instead, Moshfegh wants to fully enter her unnamed narrator's strange frame of mind so that her quest for shut-eye is compelling. The story goes that nine people attended the premiere in 1964 and two walked out during the first hour. Andy Warhol gave it a try with his cult film called Sleep, which was five hours and 20 minutes of footage of his lover at the time sleeping. Sleep, that activity we spend a third of our lives doing, may be the least chronicled subject in all of fiction and art. Whatever you may think of her novel's subject - and I'm still on the fence - you have to give Moshfegh props for her skill as a writer. Ottessa Moshfegh's new novel, My Year of Rest and Relaxation is a real snoozer, a daring and accomplished tale about a miserable young woman who believes that if she could only sleep long enough, she'd wake up different - refreshed and free of her existential pain. Over the years I've called many a novel a snoozer, but this is the first time I'm using that term in tribute. Your purchase helps support NPR programming.
