Film of the day: SISU (dir Jalmari Helander, 2022) The ecstasy of gold: memories of European low-budget genre cinema of the 1970s revised through the Tarantino template with much visual flair and a committed lead, wearing its trashploitation badge with honour and style, even if the plot jumps the shark at the end. #western #warmovie #lowbudget #trashploitation #Eurotrash #Finland #WWII #avenger

Film of the day: A RAINHA DIABA (THE DEVIL QUEEN, dir Antônio Carlos Fontoura, 1973) Hell hath no fury like a queen scorned: trashploitation crime drama the Brazilian way, all outrageously heightened genre cliches whose very excess only makes it more revelatory, making it a queer classic in advance of its time. #drama #crime #camp #genre #trashploitation #lowbudget #queercinema #BrazilianCinema #seventies #restoration #Berlinale73 #IndieLisboa2023
