A Folded Ocean

In a loving relationship between two people, physical and emotional closeness is one of the fundamental characteristics. But what if the physical closeness was such that they melded together, one into the other?

Honeymoon at Cold Hollow

It’s winter, in the 1970s, a couple who have just tied the knot prepare to spend their honeymoon in an isolated cabin in the middle of nowhere. A cop asks them if it’s the best idea and we wonder if they’ve never read The Shining.

Stéphane

Tim was just trying to make a short film when he comes across the strange and bombastic Stéphane (starring Lucas Pastor), who insists on being part of his film. Convinced that he has the perfect subject for his short, Tim follows him on an increasingly eccentric adventure that is both hilarious and terrifying.

Pipes

Sometimes work takes us to unexpected places. In the case of plumber Bob, it takes him to a gay club with a fetish bent. Not bad for a day’s work.

Claudio’s Song

It’s not easy to be an influencer. Especially when a couple of criminals kidnap you and try to extort some money. But sometimes we have to give in to fate and hope that our name remains a flame burning through time. Let’s say that the plans, here, get complicated.

The Diamond

Stefan needs friends. And nothing like a little cold sore to show he’s a sociable person. When that doesn’t work, he embarks on a plan to get money, and then friends. As he encounters a diamond he can’t get to, he’ll need help from someone with a very particular set of skills.

Smoking Causes Coughing

Any connection to the Power Rangers is no coincidence, but in this delicious and slightly sickening spoof the tone is decidedly French, and our troupe of heroes’ powers are all tied to the harmful chemicals in tobacco. After a victorious fight, they go on a team retreat and entertain themselves by telling horror stories by the light of the campfire. The end of the world, however, does not wait for anyone’s retreat.

Meantime

Marc went to the countryside, to take advantage of the calm environment to try and relax. His routine is precise and healthy. His girlfriend promises a visit. But the silence of the countryside gives way to an obsession with his regimented life and the sounds that fill it.

In The Flesh

Tracey just wanted to spend some time in the tub to indulge in the pleasures of onanism. But neither the tub, nor her body, will align with her desired plans.

Pearl

Chronologically, Pearl is positioned as a prequel to X (2022) and shows us the origin of the villainy present in that first film. Ti West shines as director, editor, screenwriter, and producer, in a genre where creativity always exceeds the meagre means of production. Aesthetically quite different from X, Pearl brings us a masterful Mia Goth and a wink, both comedic and vicious, to The Wizard of Oz or Mary Poppins.
