Last Night in Soho (2021)

 Last Night in Soho (2021) was interesting. I wouldn't say I loved it (it didn't crack my Top 100 list, for example), in part because it wasn't really very scary... it was more a drama/thriller. Also, I wasn't blown away by the solution to the mystery, and finally, I'm tired of the misogynistic portrayal of sex work as inherently degrading. But I enjoyed the 60s dream sequences, and the identity crisis trope is always interesting. Others that do it better are Perfect Blue (1997), Fight Club (1999), Black Swan (2010), and Cam (2018). Thomasin McKenzie sure is a beauty though! And a good actress, I look forward to more from her. Also stars Anya Taylor-Joy, of The Witch (2015) and Split (2016).

La Piel Que Habito / The Skin I Live In (2011)

La Piel Que Habito / The Skin I Live In (2011) was crazy good! Revenge, obsession, reincarnation. And Antonio Banderas, muy pero que muy guapo.

Cam (2018)

Jesse and I watched Cam (2018), a glitzy, sensual, cyberpunk thriller. Really smart and interesting, tho it left some key questions unexplored.  (Also, it did not devolve into a morality play about the evils of sex work, which was a welcome surprise.) Themes of identity, reality, paranoia, guilt, suicide. 

Recommended for fans of Satoshi Kon's masterpiece Perfect Blue, or William Gibson enthusiasts. Recommended!! 🍑🍆
