7/25/2023 0 Comments The hidden movie steam![]() Run Time: 1 hr 40 min | Genre: Horror Thriller | Director: Adam Egypt MortimerĬast: Miles Robbins, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sasha Lane, Mary Stuart Masterson This Australian gem is rounded out with an astounding Geoffrey Rush ( The King’ s Speech) appearance as the comedic relief, and the wise old user who helps-and enables-the couple on their course from Heaven to Hell. It’s peppered with occasional dark humor, whispered poetry, and symbolism to break up the blunt heaviness and give Candy a tone all its own. It’s split into chapters separated by the title cards, “Heaven, Earth, Hell,” depicting the draining of love and life from Dan and Candy’s relationship. Abbie Cornish ( Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri) matches him in equal measure to create one of the most heartwrenching movies of the 21st century. Ledger is at the top of his game in his most overlooked performance the year following his first Oscar nomination for best actor in a supporting role in Brokeback Mountain. The raw enactment of a poet and heroin addict named Dan ( Heath Ledger) who drags his girlfriend Candy ( Abbie Cornish) into his vapid world of addiction and damage is rife with humiliation, degradation, toxicity, and abuse. Run Time: 1 hr 48 min | Genre: Romantic Drama | Director: Neil ArmfieldĬast: Heath Ledger, Abbie Cornish, Geoffrey Rush, Tom Budge, Tony Martin, Noni Hazelhurstįew films hurt like Candy. For those who can hang, they’ll be rewarded with a colorful, unpredictable movie musical unlike any other. The steepest hurdle for any viewer experiencing Annette will be the decision by director Leos Carax ( Holy Motors) to make Annette, the child of Driver and Cotillard, a very deliberately obvious marionette puppet. Annette debuts the same year as the Edgar Wright ( Baby Driver) documentary chronicling Ron and Russell Mael’s influential musical career, titled The Sparks Brothers. The music, lyrics, and story are by the mythical Mael brothers of Sparks. ![]() The songs throughout the picture often serve to convey feelings experienced over a period of time, more than they are meant to serve as profound pontification. The use of soliloquies and asides expands upon the characters’ thoughts and feelings throughout the musical montage. He’s a stand-up comic, something like a morose Bo Burnham, and she’s a star opera singer. Adam Driver ( Star Wars: The Force Awakens) and Marion Cotillard ( Inception) play two artists in love in LA. Though there is music, singing, long takes, and dancing, the movie doesn’t feel like it’s meant for musical lovers. One of the weirder, longer movies on the list, Annette is a musical drama for film lovers. Run Time: 2 hr 19 min | Genre: Musical Romantic Drama | Director: Leos CaraxĬast: Adam Driver, Marion Cotillard, Simon Helberg, Angele, Devyn Mcdowell It’s a multifaceted and semi-relatable cautionary look at the banality of life on a collision course with the restlessness of youth empowered by privilege. The slow pull of tension to and through the heist that persists despite the comedy, peculiarity, and barrage of film homage, is an achievement in and of itself. ![]() True story aside, the young actors leading the picture feel dynamic and naive throughout the planning and execution of the heist- Evan Peters ( American Horror Story) in particular. ![]() Many films boast to be “based on a true story,” but American Animals cheekily claims, “this is a true story.” Narration and fourth-wall-breaking documentary-style testimonials from the actual men who attempted to abscond with and fence rare artworks from Transylvania University in Lexington, Kentucky interrupt and enhance the action and drama of the picture. Run Time: 2 hr | Genre: Crime | Director: Bart LaytonĬast: Evan Peters, Blake Jenner, Barry Keoghan, Jared Abrahamson, Eddie KingĪlongside A Taxi Driver, American Animals is one of the best and most entertaining hidden gems on Prime Video. ![]()
