Coming into a film called Queer I didn't except the movie to go where it went. It was not a romance drama film, which it was marketed as. It only started like one. If you like Guadagnino's Call Me By Your Name and except the same movie here. Don't. This is a completely different movie.

Beau Is Afraid

There is a sub-genre of Horror films categorized by surrealism. It could range between totally insane films like anything directed by David Lynch all the way to something like Mandy by Panos Cosmatos, where it is kind of surreal, but also doesn't actually ask from the audience too much in terms of figuring out what is going on. "Beau Is Afraid" is more toward the David Lynch category of surreal horror.

Frankenstein 2025 is... wow... just wow!

Let's get this out of the way: Guillermo del Toro knows how to make a movie. The man is a fucking genius. And yet it seems apart from just being technically proficient, he is also a master of making corruption of the audience emotionally satisfying. Let me explain.

On the surface, the 2008 movie Taken directed by Pierre Morel and written by Luc Besson ( he was busy directing Arthur cartoons ) is about how it is dangerous for little girls to be in the world. And about how awful the human trafficking is. And about how good, people who fuck up human traffickers are. But then, out of nowhere, it makes people cheer when a guy is buying an underage girl at a human trafficking auction. As if, it makes you think: Is Luc Besson just trying to show Quentin Tarantino that he is a master of corrupting the audience?

I came into the film without any knowledge that this film is a musical. I failed to see the obvious foreshadowing to it. The casting of the singer Björk for the lead character, the word "Dancer" included in the damn title, the beginning of the film, where Björk's character prepares to dance in a stage-play. All of that went over my head. And when the first musical number started I was pleasantly surprised.
