This week on Two Girl Cinema Club, we caught up on some independent films. While these films and their filmmakers may be popular now, they didn’t start out that way. We also discuss our plans for The Odyssey which releases about a month from now, Greek mythology, and our hopes for film festival season. Admittedly, we go off the rails a little, so please bear with us.
When you think of independent films, you don’t usually think of ones that are as successful or known as the three we discuss in this episode. Triangle of Sadness premiered at Cannes in 2022 where it won the Palm d’Or and picked up traction at the Oscars. We had heard a lot about this film, but it was one we hadn’t gotten around to seeing. While we felt it was a little slow at the beginning, it really picked up in the second act and had us engaged until the end. Frances Ha is an early film written by Noah Baumbach and Greta Gerwig, and directed by Baumbach. This is another film that we had heard about, but never seen and we had some high expectations. Unfortunately, we just don’t vibe with the quirky, elder millennial chaos, and this wasn’t an enjoyable watch for us. Finally, we have Keeper by Osgood Perkins. Since Perkins is a known director, this film was picked up by Neon but it was met with mixed reviews. This leads us to a bigger conversation about Perkins, his most recent films, and what he has coming next.
