The Genetic Opera' Could Be the Next 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' Every few years, film fanatics anoint "the next Rocky Horror Picture Show," a movie that fizzled at the box office but found a cult audience on the midnight-screening circuit. Remember the horror flick Birdemic? Came and went like a dodo. The 2003 campy drama The Room? Still draws crowds, but mostly just at West Hollywood's Laemmle 5. The latest cult phenomenon gathering steam is Repo!
The Genetic Opera, a horror-musical-thriller from Darren Lynn Bousman, director of the second, third and fourth Saw movies. And yet about 150 people show up on the last Friday of every month at the Vista Theatre in L.A.' Fishnets and bondage suits are the preferred attire, and screaming phrases like "My legacy is not up to my genes" is encouraged. Bousman is partly responsible for the delayed success. A phenomenon was born. Lionsgate's only involvement is providing the film rental (it gets a onetime distribution fee for that midnight screening). "What made this movie work was that it failed," Bousman says. Film Noir - Films. Film Noir (literally 'black film or cinema') was coined by French film critics (first by Nino Frank in 1946) who noticed the trend of how 'dark', downbeat and black the looks and themes were of many American crime and detective films released in France to theatres following the war, such as The Maltese Falcon (1941), Murder, My Sweet (1944), Double Indemnity (1944), The Woman in the Window (1944), and Laura (1944).
A wide range of films reflected the resultant tensions and insecurities of the time period, and counter-balanced the optimism of Hollywood's musicals and comedies. Fear, mistrust, bleakness, loss of innocence, despair and paranoia are readily evident in noir, reflecting the 'chilly' Cold War period when the threat of nuclear annihilation was ever-present.
Classic film noir developed during and after World War II, taking advantage of the post-war ambience of anxiety, pessimism, and suspicion. Touch of Evil (1958)). Out of the Past (1947), Kiss Me Deadly (1955), etc. Memento (film) Memento is presented as two different sequences of scenes: a series in black-and-white that is shown chronologically, and a series of color sequences shown in reverse order. The two sequences "meet" at the end of the film, producing one common story.[3] It stars Guy Pearce as Leonard Shelby, a man with anterograde amnesia, which impairs his ability to store new explicit memories, who has developed a system for recollection using hand-written notes, tattoos, and Polaroid photos. During the opening credits, which portray the end of the story, it is shown that Leonard kills Teddy (Joe Pantoliano). The film suggests that this killing is vengeance for the rape and murder of his wife (Jorja Fox) based on information provided by Natalie (Carrie-Anne Moss).
A backwards sequence is shown. The black-and-white sequences begin with Leonard Shelby in a motel room speaking to an unnamed telephone caller who is not shown on-screen. The color sequences are shown in reverse chronological order. Following. Following is a 1998 British neo-noir drama thriller film written and directed by Christopher Nolan. It tells the story of a young man who follows strangers around the streets of London and is drawn into a criminal underworld when he fails to keep his distance. As Christopher Nolan's debut feature, it was designed to be as inexpensive as possible to make: scenes were heavily rehearsed so that just one or two takes were needed, thus economising on 16 mm film stock, the production's greatest expense, and for which Nolan was paying from his salary. Without expensive professional lighting equipment, Nolan mostly used available light. Apart from providing the script and direction, Nolan also did the photography, editing and production himself.
Plot[edit] A struggling, unemployed young writer (credited as "The Young Man") takes to following strangers around the streets of London, ostensibly to find inspiration for his first novel. The Young Man is thrilled by Cobb's lifestyle. Cast[edit] The Man Who Wasn't There. The Man Who Wasn't There is the title of several works: Blood Simple. Blood Simple is a 1984 neo-noir crime film written, directed and produced by Joel and Ethan Coen. The film's title derives from the Dashiell Hammett novel Red Harvest, in which "blood simple" is a term to describe the addled, fearful mindset of people after a prolonged immersion in violent situations.[1] It was the directorial debut of the Coens and the first major film of cinematographer Barry Sonnenfeld, who later became a noted director, as well as the feature film debut of Joel Coen's wife Frances McDormand, who subsequently starred in many of his features. Plot[edit] Julian Marty (Dan Hedaya), the owner of a Texas bar, suspects his wife Abby (Frances McDormand) is having an affair with one of his bartenders, Ray (John Getz).
Marty hires private detective Loren Visser (M. Later that evening, Ray returns to the bar and, finding a seemingly dead Marty and Abby's gun, assumes Abby murdered her husband.
