A Bigger Splash
Crit
It's sort of a fucked up Eden to begin with, Marianne (Tilda Swinton) resting her damaged rock star vocal cords under the care of former suicidal addict Paul (Matthias Schoenaerts). Still, theirs is a relatively idyllic existence before the uber-phallic serpent Harry (Ralph Fiennes) shows up, with his hell spawn Penelope (Dakota Johnson, about whose acting I'm not going to make any sadomasochistic jokes).
It's Fiennes's movie, as director Luca Guadagnino has clearly invited him to chew up an entire Mediterranean island's worth of scenery and to embody more wickedness than in those Harry Potter flicks.
Unsurprisingly, then something bad happens. and even then it's just all too silly to worry much about.
Trailers
- Absolutely Fabulous--Uh, I think not.
- The Magnificent Seven--Very smug to have identified this in seconds, without having known that a remake was afoot. This version bends gender (a townswoman is sent to hire gunmen) and race (Denzel is the first of the seven).
