Before we give our thoughts on those three films, we talk about some industry news that broke this week, and Hannah shares her thoughts upon rewatching Scream and Scary Movie. That also leads us onto a conversation about the coming fall season and our Witch Weekend.</p><p><br></p><p>The French are known for their passion, and while we didn’t always see that in a romantic sense in our films this week, all our picks were emotionally heavy. We began with Eyes Without a Face which was released in 1960. We were so impressed with the production value of this and there were multiple, provocative themes being explored throughout. Being in black and white really helped elevate the suspense and eerie look of this as well. Incendies is a 2010 film by Denis Villeneuve that we had never even heard of. These days, we’re so used to him being known for films like Arrival and the Dune series that it’s hard to imagine his beginnings were creating films without a sci-fi lens. Out of the three, this one is the most shocking and overall emotionally draining, but it’s definitely worth your time. Lastly, we have Portrait of a Lady on Fire which is from 2019. This was a film that we had been interested in since its release, but never actually got around to watching. It’s a beautiful period piece that really stays with you long after the film is over. Plus, the costuming and sets/locations are stunning!</p><p><br></p><p>If you love us, leave us comments on social media and YouTube, or write a review with your 5-star rating.
