The Film Independent Spirit Awards 创建于1984年,发起人是 Jeanne Lucas 和 IFP/West President Anne Kimmel Gregory,是专为独立制片的电影工作者设置的奖,起初称 Friends of Independent Awards, 1986 年改名为 Film Independent Spirit Awards为Independent Feature Project/ West board 主办,后来此组织变为Film Independent。 现在每年在Oscars 颁奖前一天,在洛杉矶西侧的 Santa Monica  海滩搭帐篷举行。颁奖会请很多著名电影人参加。1990年代有Keynote Speech,在过去 发言人中有 Francis Coppola , Oliver Stone, Jodie Foster, Martin Scorsese,Spike Lee, John Walter.

只有Film Independent的成员可参加投票,各项提名由Film Independent 组织的提名委员会提供。成员是电影评论家,导演,编剧,演员,摄影师,剪辑师等电影工作者。 Film Independent指导委员会成员,及工作人员不可参加提名委员会。Film Independent Membership 分两种: Film Lover Membership, 任何喜爱电影的人都可参加,每年会费$95, 可以免费看提名片,投票选获奖片。Filmmaker Pro Membership 每年$250为想拍片的人设置,会员可享受咨询,选演员,免费租借场地开会,读剧本,audition 等。

现有会员 7300个,2/3 的会员是电影工作者。

1996 年指导委员会大致规定了提名片的标准:独特的视角, 原创的,挑战性的的题材和主题,努力以低成本制作的优秀电影。2007年为了吸引更多影片参加评奖,把制作费门槛提高到$20 million, 2016年提高到 $22.5 Million。奖项有最佳故事影片,最佳首部影片($500,000奖金)最佳制片,最佳导演,最佳剧本,最佳首部剧本,最佳男配角,最佳女配角,John Cassavetes 奖(成本$500,000 以下的影片),最佳男演员,最佳女演员, 最佳摄影,最佳剪辑,最佳国际电影,最佳纪录片,Robert Altman 奖等其他奖项。

由于独立制片成本可低可高,不追求高利润,不受通俗市场的左右,所以题材,主题更宽,内容更丰富,手法更有探索性。演员可找新秀,或非职业演员。所以Film Independent Spirit Awards 的提名片能吸引喜欢题材多样,具有探索性的电影的观众。

具体历史事件及过去的提名,获奖单可去 Film Independent 网站搜寻。www.Filmindependent.org

获提名最多的两部影片 The Light House (5), Uncut Gem (5)

我想介绍一下就我看过的2020 Spirit Awards 提名影片,供大家参考。(有些没看过的,我載一些评论)

Best Feature

A Hidden Life   导演 Terrence Malick (b 1943, 76 岁)

片长3 小时,影片非常细致描述二战时一个奥地利虔诚的天主教农民渐渐意识到纳粹的残忍和战争的非正义,顶着村民,村长,神父,主教的压力,在妻子的支持下,拒绝宣誓效忠纳粹,拒绝再次参军作战,被捕入狱,判刑,最后被处死。故事人物十分真实可敬,立意深刻,节奏缓慢,导演思维,mise en scene, 切割时间,空间的方式特别,重叠,跳跃,摄影机跟拍用仰广角,人物特写也常常用仰角,好像符合人物内心的复杂思索,抗争。有很多描写琐碎生活的场面,把真实和质朴的山区生活呈现给观众,让观众感受。美丽简朴的的山区生活和残酷的纳粹监狱形成强烈对比,摄影,声音,音乐非常出色。需要一定的耐心观看。

(Los Angeles Times)

Terrence Malick’s films are like dance pieces. His characters don’t stand still — they glide, they twirl, they run. His camera never rests, either. And the center of his films isn’t story, or dialogue, or character. It’s a spiritual theme — a question — examined through motion and music.

“A Hidden Life,” his latest, is based on the true story of an Austrian farmer who refuses to pledge loyalty to Hitler, and the director tells it in the same elliptical, poetic style he’s been exploring since 1978’s “Days of Heaven.” It has an elegiac score by James Newton Howard, featuring violin solos by James Ehnes and a main theme that conjures the heartbreaking beauty of paradise lost. But, as with all of the director’s films, it also features a collage of classical masterworks.

Clemency    编剧导演 Chinonye Chukwu,主演Alfre Woodward, 翻译为特赦。

讲一位女死刑执行官不得不执行一个明显被错判的死囚的死刑。影片表现她的孤独,沉默,执行过12个死刑给她带来的身心创伤,以及面对要处死被错判囚犯的残酷现实。复杂的的人物性格,出色的表演,对不能主持正义的司法制度和死刑制度的质问,是影片的看点。

The Farewell    编剧导演 Lulu Wang。

这部影片自2019 Sundance Festival 以来受到很多观众和评论家的喜爱。影片讲述六岁随父母来美国移民的Bili,回中国看望患四期癌症的祖母。为了避免祖母知道自己的病情,全家人编了一个给Bili 在日本的Cousin回国办婚礼的幌子,借机向祖母最后告别。事件,告别方式独特,悲喜混合,有真情悲情,又不得不掩埋,以喜遮哀。在这种情景中表现移民家庭的三代人的真情,关爱。打动人的Scenes 很多,为遮掩病情以及文化冲突的喜剧情景也不少。但主要归功三代人的真情写的感人,Lulu Wang对悲喜剧巧妙融合的出色才华。音乐,剪辑,摄影都出色。整个cast表演很优秀,尤其是演Bili 的Awkwafina和演祖母的赵淑珍。Awkwafina得2020金球奖喜剧和音乐剧类最佳女演员奖。 赵淑珍获2020 Spirit Awards 最佳女配角提名。

Marriage Story 编剧导演 Noah Baumbach

Marriage Story是一部描述当代现实生活中两个追求演艺艺术的夫妇,由于忽略了对方的追求,情感和培养婚姻所需的爱,走上了离异的道路。在律师的参与下,两人情感逐渐恶化,走到两人悔恨自己, 无法挽回,只能即将错就错,痛苦分手。剧本结构,循序渐进,环环相扣,自然推向高潮。人物真实可信,观众高度认同。两人和孩子,尤其是爸爸和孩子的关系,写得十分动人。Nicole 和 Charlie 在 LA Charlie 公寓里的互相责备,吵架,伤痛对方,后悔,道歉,拥抱在一起的戏 特别感人,是影片的核心情感冲突高潮,将会成为电影经典。除两个主角 Scarlett Johansson 和 Adam Driver 的出色表演外,演律师的三个演员也很优秀。其中女律师的扮演者Laura Dern 获金球奖和英国电影电视奖最佳女配角奖。导演,编剧,男女主角也获金球奖,英国电影电视奖,美国Oscars奖提名。

Uncut Gems 编剧导演Josh Safdie, Benny Safdie ,主演 Adam Sandler

影片写一个对篮球赌博精通着迷的小珠宝商,像所有精通自己专业的英雄,具有冒险意志和精神。他负债累累,给债主尾随追债,但他总能想办法躲过。他设计一个非常冒险的计划,从非洲买来一颗未加工的宝石,买给一个篮球明星,用这笔钱来下个大赌注,实现他的人生目的。就在他赌注成功,兴高采烈时被追债的枪手打死。 整个影片以记录片的方式跟随他在纽约的珠宝区活动,在家和家人相处,在珠宝店和伙计以及篮球明星打交道。观众同情他的处境,佩服他的精明,冒险,为他的死悲哀。看点在小人物在困镜中的挣扎,精明,奋斗和成功。编剧导演叙述有条有理,纪录片跟拍的方式很突出,珠宝区暗色调的摄影,珠宝区以及纽约街道,住宅的写实摄影为故事提供了真实压抑的环境,这些都是看点。Adam Sandler 全身心地投入角色的自然表演是整个影片的的亮点,堪称一绝,没得Oscasr 提名实属遗憾

Best First Feature

Book Smart   导演 Olivia Wilde。这是2006年出道的演员Olivia Wilde导演的第一部故事片。由Kaitlyn Dever和Beanie Felstein 和一群优秀的年轻演员出演。

故事讲述一对平时苦学一直保持A的即将毕业的女高中生,突然发现平时她们认为玩闹不用功的同学居然和她们一样考上了常青藤大学。 两人悔恨错过美好时光,决定毕业典礼前放开玩闹一夜。 影片由此出发带领观众随她们找同学聚会,在找的过程中,展示她们不知道的同学的另一面,比如富人孩子的孤独,暗恋,一个女同学的同性恋,一个女孩喜欢毒品,她们的校长是LYFT司机。一系列快节奏的巧秒喜剧吃惊,发现,突转,展示一群高中生的秘密是电影的看点,两个女高中生的友谊冲突是粘合力和主线,喜剧性格,情景,冲突设计出色,节奏明快,cast 优秀。作为第一次做导演的作品,独特,新颖,非常成功。影片普受好评,演员Beanie Felstein 获多项电影奖提名。

The Climb (3月上映) 导演编剧Michael Angelo Vovino

(Rotten Tomatoes)

Kyle and Mike are best friends who share a close bond -- until Mike sleeps with Kyle's fiancée. The Climb is about a tumultuous but enduring relationship between two men across many years of laughter, heartbreak and rage. It is also the story of real-life best friends who turn their profound connection into a rich, humane and frequently uproarious film about the boundaries (or lack thereof) in all close friendships.

Diane   导演 Kent Jones Amazon (You tube streaming $3.99)

(Google)

For Diane, everyone else comes first. Generous but with little patience for self-pity, she spends her days checking in on sick friends, volunteering at her local soup kitchen, and trying valiantly to save her troubled, drug-addicted adult son from himself. But beneath her relentless routine of self-sacrifice, Diane is fighting a desperate internal battle, haunted by past mistakes which threaten to tear her increasingly chaotic world apart. (

The Last Man in San Francisco 导演制片Joe Talbot ( DVD and Streaming )

是一部诗意电影, 伤感,怀旧,失落是影片的情绪主题。Jimmie和 Montry 俩个好友想恢复一座 著名Filmore 地区的Victorian house。这房子根据主人公Jimmie说是他祖父1946年造的,他小时曾在房子里住过,玩耍过,现在被白人房主抛弃,他要恢复房子当年的温磬。两人经过努力偷偷搬了进去。当Montry发现 房子不是Jimmie的祖父造的,两人友谊结束。 影片结尾在Montry远远 注视着Jimmie 在海上金门桥附近划船而去。

影片没有强烈的人物冲突,故事发展缓慢,画面优美,摄影出色,集中在两个人物的友谊,以及人物对房子的怀旧和周围的残酷现实变化,包括好友被杀。主人公梦幻般的想找回过去的感觉,包括想恢复和好友Montry 的友谊已经不可能了。影片获2019 Sundance 最佳电影导演奖,特殊评委奖。

The Mustang 导演 Lure de Clermont (法国)

一个脾气暴躁的囚犯因误伤妻子致脑残进了监狱。 他被选参加一个驯马改造项目,在驯马负责人的帮助下,他开始珍惜和马的关系,成功地驯服了一匹像他一样烈的 Mustang 野马,同时和女儿的关系也有了改进。在拍卖会上,Mustang 马受惊于直升机,把他摔翻在地 差点将他踩死。当他得知马故要被处死,他违反狱规将马放走。

比利时演员 Matthias Schoenaerts以演猛暴中有细腻情感的角色出名,导演启用他主演 The Mustang,绝对是最好的选择。他把人物的内涵和变化演到了极致。他本人就是一匹 Mustang 马。

片中Nevada 的荒凉,严峻的外景,驯马的艰难惊险,都给这个第一次做导演的女性拍得赋予诗意。Bruce Dern(Laura Dern 的父亲) 出演驯马负责人。

See you Yesterday 导演 Stepfon Brisrol , 制片 Spike Lee (Netflix Streaming)

(Google)

Two Teenagers science prodigies spend every spare minute working on their latest homemade invention: backpacks that enable time travel. When one of their older brothers is killed by a police they put their unfinished project to the  test to save him.

Best Screenplay

Marriage Story 编剧Noah Baumbach (see  the short review above)

To Dust 编剧 Jason Begue, Shawn Snyder

(The Wrap)

The intersection of grief and faith is a bit complicated, whether in reality or as fiction. No two people grieve the same way, and no two cultures have the same structure for what happens when a loved one dies. First time feature film writer-director Shawn Snyder dives right into the nitty gritty of science, loss and faith, and delivers a charming, quirky, human and, at times, macabre, film in “To Dust.”

Shmuel (Géza Röhrig, “Son of Saul”) has just lost his wife to cancer. A Hasidic cantor, he does everything his faith asks him to do following her death, but still he is obsessed with what might be happening to his wife’s corpse. Is she decomposing? If so, how? And more importantly, is her soul suffering as her body rots into the Earth? Completely oblivious that his two sons are also grieving, he goes in search of answers and meets Albert (Matthew Broderick), a biology professor at the local community college. Albert initially rejects Shmuel and tries to send him away, but then, seeing a man lost in grief, decides to help Shmuel find out what happens to a decomposing corpse through some odd, and outrageous, experiments.

Though the film’s opening sequence is melancholic and somber, the rest of the film keeps grief in focus but offers a mix of charm and dry humor in its two leads. In every sense of the story, this film plays like a buddy comedy. An unlikely duo, Röhrig and Broderick are the yin and yang to the overall tone of the film. Shmuel’s pain and conflict over going against the teachings of his faith are complemented by Albert’s cynical humor and devotion to science.

Broderick can definitely play a quietly insidious character; Albert calls to mind Broderick’s once-idealistic teacher in “Election,” but with less deviousness and more charisma. Röhrig is refreshing to watch as a man going through real emotion; Shmuel doesn’t know what to do with his feelings, but he’s trying to make it to the other side of grief with his faith intact. He walks a fine tightrope in balancing pain and healing, without ever going over the edge to either way. Grief is, after all, a journey — there is no quick fix for it.

Snyder and co-writer Jason Begur’s smart script doesn’t treat death as a joke, and that lends a bit of compassion to some otherwise morbid scenes involving a science experiment with a pig and a view of some corpses. I personally don’t know much about Hasidic Jews, but I do know how complicated it can be to mix faith and science without mocking one or the other, and there is a feeling of care in the script to both sides of spectrum. The film neither preaches nor patronizes one character, or one way of life, instead offering a look at two men simultaneously losing a bit of their guards and accepting different truths about the circle of life.

Clemency 编剧   Chinonye Chukwa (See above)

High Flying Bird 编剧 Tarell Alvin Mc Craney (Netflex Streaming)

是著名导演Steven Soderberg 苹果手机拍的第二部影片。

(Google)

The film follows a sports agent who must pull off a plan in 72 hours, pitching a controversial opportunity to his client, a rookie basketball player during the agent company’s lockout.

Uncut Gems   编剧Ronald Bronstein, Benny Safdie, Josh Safdie (see above)

Best Director

The Light House Dir.  Robert Eggers

这是一部心理恐怖片。讲述1890s New England一个小岛上暴风雨到来前后两个Light House Keeper的冲突,剧本,导演,摄影,production design和演员表演都很出色。人物的变态,内心活动,幻觉和险恶环境被影片的黑白摄影, 声音混合和剪辑表现得无以伦比。对话 New England 方言,难懂。演员Robert Pattinson ,Willem Defoe 摄影获Oscars 最佳摄影提名。

Wikipedia 有 The Light House 制作的的详尽介绍

Honey Boy Dir. Alma Harel   同时获Spirit Awards 最佳摄影,最佳男配角提名 (Noah Jupe, Shia LeBeouf  )

剧本由著名新秀演员Shia LaBeouf 根据自己做童星时和父亲的经历编写。

属于个人,家庭冲突故事。以现在 Shia 在禁酒所里的治疗和对童星时代的父子关系回忆,交叉进行,客观地勾画出两人在制片厂工作的艰辛,冲突,父亲酗酒的复杂的性格以及自己反判性格成长,痛苦和甜蜜,伤感混合,十分感人。导演,摄影,演员,剧本都非常出色。整个影片从剧本构思创作,到拍摄就是一个动人的故事,2017年Shia 在禁酒所里和导演 Alma Harel 的通信中构思创作了剧本,自己出演父亲。在多论多电影节上 Shia said” I only made this for two people. Selfish for myself to survive where I was at, and for my father. He is with it, he is proud“.  Honey Boy 像 Eugen O’Neill ,Tennessee William,Arthur Miller 的作品。绝对是挖掘家庭不和谐关系的独特佳作。

Luce Dir, Julius Onah

是一部看似简单但非常复杂的现代悬疑心理剧,很难确定谁错谁对。大概都有错有对,人物没那么完美。故事牵涉一位从非洲被领养的,做过儿童士兵的黑人男孩高中生,关爱的白人领养父母和严格的黑人老师。其中有故意和老师作对,暴力恐怖嫌疑,过激言论,强奸嫌疑,追求公正,平等待遇等问题。剧情比较复杂。 Wikibpedia 有详尽介绍。演员Naomi Watts, Octavia Spencer, Tim Roth, 新秀 Kelvin Harrison Jr.

Uncut Gems Dir. Benny Safdie, Josh Safdie (See Above)

Hustlers  Dir. Lorene Scafaria

第一次看到这样正面深入细致,满怀同情心地描写脱衣女郎的电影,写她们的工作,家庭,日常生活,友谊,背叛。 影片虽然是讲述现几个脱衣女郎以下药方法,趁华尔街的客人昏迷之际,刷卡赚取大量金钱的故事,但主要是集中在新手Destiny(Vivian Wu) 和 Ramona(Jenifer Lopaz)的关系上,写她们的结识,互助,设骗局,赚钱,背叛,理解。 Jeniffer Lopaz 的表演受到媒体很多好评。编剧,导演,摄影,剪辑一流,无可挑剔。

Best International Film

Invisible Life (Brazil) Dir. Karim Aiouz  (DVD Dec 20th,2019)

(Medium.com)

Rio de Janeiro, 1950. Eurídice, 18, and Guida, 20, are two inseparable sisters living at home with their conservative parents. Although immersed in a traditional life, each one nourishes a dream: Eurídice of becoming a renowned pianist, Guida of finding true love. In a dramatic turn, they are separated by their father and forced to live apart. They take control of their separate destinies, while never giving up hope of finding each other.   

Les Miserable (France) Dir. Ladj Ly

以写实的方式拍摄三个警察在巴黎几种族裔杂居的巴黎郊区贫民区艰难维护治安的故事。写他们与居民,青少年的冲突,三个警察有不同性格,不同态度和方式处理问题,他们自身也有冲突,影片结尾青少年暴动袭击警察,在关键生死存亡的时刻,曾经抢救过非洲移民少年Issa生命的警察制止了愤怒的Issa手中致命的燃烧瓶。剧本几条线索设计很好,人物真实生动,警察的艰难,贫民区人生活的困苦,以及他们的冲突,写得出色。具有现实现实主义作品逼人思索的的力度。影片开始各族裔年轻人在凯旋门庆祝2016年法国足球队得胜和结尾青少年暴动形成强烈的对比。人们不禁要问, 问题出在哪里,应该怨谁?

Parasite (Korea)Dir. Bong Joon -ho (中译:奉俊昊)

是一部非常优秀的审视穷富人关系的影片,是一部立意,人物,结构,编剧,演员,导演,摄影,剪辑,美工,声音,音乐全面出色的 影片。也只有同情关怀下层社会,认真审视穷富关系,具有深厚的韩国文化艺术底蕴和对电影艺术的精湛把握的 Bong Joon-jo 才能做出这样优秀的影片。难怪影片受到世界各地电影观众和评论家一致好评。这是一部10年,20年难得的雅俗共赏的,具有深刻内容的优秀影片,是韩国电影,东亚电影,世界电影的经典。

建议看中文字母的版本,会更多地了解内容,人物,欣赏对话,幽默。

通过贫穷的Mr. Kim一家经历计划周密的骗局得逞,成为寄生虫的沾沾自喜,地下室被他们剥夺生计的管家夫妇的恐吓,以及受到 Mr. Park 的轻蔑和侮辱,最后杀死富人房主的故事,导演编剧探讨人的贫富关系,究竟应当怎样处理的问题。其实Mr Park一家也是这种冲突中的无辜牺牲者。编剧导演Bong Joon-ho以其对人物细腻的刻画,对电影类型和元素的娴熟的掌握,将观众带入一个个惊奇发现,在发现中看到Kim一家的贫穷,卑微,关爱,机智,同情心,看到Park  一家的清高,幼稚,虚伪,冷漠和隔膜,以及地下室中被Kim一家抢去饭碗的管家夫妇的绝境。在发现中观众看到Mr. Kim 意识到自己贫穷的地位就像自己的气味永远被蔑视侮辱的现实,最后把刀桶向自己认为的罪恶根源,富人房主Mr. Park。从精细计划的骗局喜剧,转为突转的闹剧,互相残杀的恐怖片,又由恐怖片转为出人意料的悲剧,不能不佩服Bong Jo-ho的才华,以及对穷富巨大差别的思考和艺术体现。

影片的人物刻画,对话,张力,精彩段落,数不胜数,时时处处有看点。

片中3层 空间的设计:富人家豪华生活空间,Kim家的半地下室,管家夫妇的深层地下室,非常出色,具有现实和象征寓意; 将Kim一家抛回冷酷的现实的暴雨水灾的场景段落宏大震撼;  Kim 家的气味,Morse  Code,盆景山石的设计出奇的巧妙可贵 ,不仅是情节的重要元素,而且寓意深刻。 摄影机运动,剪辑,音乐(古典音乐)配合具有令人赞叹的电影艺术的美。

影片获Oscars最佳影片,最佳编剧, 最佳导演,最佳剪辑, 最佳production Design,最佳国际电影提名。除戛纳电影节金棕榈奖,还获英国电影电视最佳剧本奖,最佳非英语电影奖,金球奖最佳外语片奖,美国演员协会最佳演员组合奖,美国剪辑协会最佳剪辑奖。

Portrait of a Lady on Fire (France) Dir. Celine Sciamma

这是一部少有的非常细腻的刻画1770年法国一个年轻的女画家和她所画的女孩之间的爱情故事影片。剧本构思,情节发展,人物刻画, 情感建立,变化发展,就像女画家画女孩一样的细腻。观众时刻为人物的情感变化,发展所吸引。张力产生于高超的场面调度,人物表演,镜头切换,剪辑,环境声音中。导演,摄影,剪辑,声音,音乐,production design,服装都十分出色,浑然一体。导演太有品味和才华。两个主演和配角把人物的细腻心理表演的淋漓至尽,锦上添花。它应是Oscars,Cannes多项提名的影片。其中有几点要特别欣赏的:环境音响对人物心理的刻画,如壁炉里木柴劈吧劈吧的燃烧声,海滩上的风声,浪声;女画家的特写;两人在海滩上,互相偷视的重叠特写,最后Heloise 坐在剧院的长特写。整个影片,只用了 三段音乐,恰到好处,烘托人物的心情和剧情。法国电影向来有用自然声音的艺术爱好,这部影片是最好的例子。此片获戛纳电影节最佳剧本奖,欧洲最佳电影剧本奖,金棕榈提名,戛纳最佳女演员提名,凯撒最佳女演员提名

Retablo (Peru) Dir. Alaro Delgado-Apariciol

(Google)

A shy but ambitious film student falls into an intense, emotionally fraught relationship with a charismatic but untrustworthy,(manipulating,drug addict) older man.

Jonathan Majors, The Last Black Man in San Francisco (see above)

Wendell Pierce, Burning Cane

(Tribica Film Festival)

A worried mother (Karen Kaia Livers) caring for her mange-ridden family dog; her unemployed, alcoholic son (Dominique McClellan) and the wife (Emyri Crutchfield) who supports him; and a preacher (Wendell Pierce) whose wife’s recent death has pushed him toward the bottle are a few of the characters who make up the beautifully rich world of Southeastern Louisiana in Phillip Youmans’ extraordinary debut feature, Burning Cane. The poetic lyricism of the film’s handheld camerawork calls to mind a Terrence Malick-like interest in the influence of place on the people who inhabit it, and how deeply the beauty of the natural world can contrast with the brutality of human acts. As one of the principal embodiments of this contradiction, Pierce gives a powerful performance as the preacher who is struggling to both help his flock as well as himself.

BEST SUPPORTING FEMALE

Jennifer Lopez, Hustlers (see above)

 BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY

Todd Banhazl, Hustlers

Jarin Blaschke, The Lighthouse

Natasha Braier, Honey Boy

Chananun Chotrungroj, The Third Wife

Los Angeles Times Review

Ash Mayfair’s painterly Vietnamese drama “The Third Wife” draws us in to a cloistered world of 18th century rural polygamy and suppressed desire that puts a filmic premium on every instance of touch, be it tolerated, welcome or feared.

In a remote, beautiful stretch of river-run valley, 14-year-old May (Nguyen Phuong Tra My) becomes the youngest of three bonded mistresses to an older landowner (Le Vu Long) who expects a son, the true source of wifely power in the household. Though he has a grown male heir with eldest wife Ha (Tran Nu Yên-Khê), the status of second wife Xuan (Mai Thu Huong Maya) was compromised when she birthed daughters. May, eager to show her reproductive fealty, prays for a boy, but she is also awakening to her true sexuality when she develops a growing attraction to free-spirited Xuan, who is herself engaging in a secret, turbulent affair with her husband’s son.

Mayfair and cinematographer Chananun Chotrungroj turn their setting’s soft-lighted interiors, narrow-focus close-ups and tranquil exteriors into a truly gorgeous, detailed picture book of intimacy and erotic unease in a rigid patriarchy, even if the frequent cutaways to running water and lepidoptera are a little too on the nose as metaphoric commentary, and the overall rhythm edges toward monotonously sleepy. But there is much that is finely wrought here as a tactile slice of women’s history told in careful observances, hidden textures and the sights and sounds of nature unbound.

Rotten Tomatoes)

When Cynthia & Mary (Jillian Bell & Michaela Watkins) show up to collect Cynthia's inheritance from her deceased grandfather, the only item she's received is an antique sword that was believed by her grandfather to be proof that the South won the Civil War. The two attempt to unload the object to a curmudgeonly pawnshop owner (Marc Maron) & his man-child sidekick Nathaniel (Jon Bass). When Mel and Nathaniel discover there's a black market for the relic, the two pairs reluctantly join forces to sell this rarefied 'prover item' to the highest bidder. The adventure that ensues takes the four of them on a wild journey into the depths of conspiracy theory and Southern disillusionment.
