Koji su NAJOČEKIVANIJI HORORI 2017? Tu listu
sam već nedavno okačio OVDE.
A sad, evo da izlistam i filmove izvan horor žanra koje
nestrpljivo očekujem ove godine. Ipak, imajte na umu da su neki od ovih već
gotovi i bili su prikazivani na festivalima ili u redovnoj distribuciji, ali još nisu dospeli do nas, ovde; neki
svoje premijere imaju u narednim mesecima;
a neki nisu još ni počeli da se snimaju
i pitanje je da li će biti završeni i prikazani do kraja ove godine.
Uprkos tome, evo čemu se
valja nadati u 2017. godini a da nije horor.
Podelio sam ih, grubo, na
žanrove.

Call Me By Your Name
Luca Guadagnino (A Bigger Splash, Suspiria)
With: Armie Hammer, Timothee Chalamet, Michael Stuhlbarg
A young American boy living
in Italy in the 1980s has an affair with
an older man
Above all a
story of first love — one that transcends
the same-sex dynamic of its central couple. Guadagnino recreates Elio’s life-changing summer with such intensity that we might as well be
experiencing it first-hand.
Queen of Spades
Pavel Lungin
Alexander
Pushkin (short story)
Once upon a time, the great
soprano Sophia Maier conquered the world with her voice, her beauty and the
legend she carefully built around herself. Now only the legend remains- the
diva herself hasn't performed for years, nor been seen in the glittering
circles of society she once dominated. But the woman who fascinated and
thrilled the world for so long would like to crown her career with one more
triumph. And she'll use every dirty trick she knows to achieve it.
(Ovo je bilo
na FEST-u ali mi je promaklo jer se termin poklapao s UČENIKOM, koji mi se više
gledao.)
Beach Rats
Eliza Hittman
Beautifully rendered study
of repressed sexuality in un-hip
Brooklyn. Frankie, the oh-so-beautiful, oh-so-confused teenage protagonist of
“Beach Rats” isn’t much for answering questions. “I don’t know what I like,” he
says curtly, if not dishonestly, to the various older men, sought in gay chat
rooms, who want to know if they turn him on. And when a hesitantly acquired
girlfriend asks him, twice, if he finds her pretty, he pointedly refuses to
answer, bouncing the question back at her in a tone that’s both taunting
and searching. Writer-director Eliza Hittman has a sensitive ear for
the way adolescents reveal themselves through evasion: It’s a tension crucial
to this anxious, tactile, profoundly sad
study of a young man’s journey of sexual self-discovery and self-betrayal
on the luridly faded boardwalks of Brooklyn.
TRILERI
Scribe
Thomas Kruithof
A timely political thriller involving a mild-mannered bookkeeper sucked into a nightmare of uncertain loyalties, told with edgy flair.
A lean, edgy drama about an outwardly bland middle-aged factotum hired to transcribe taped conversations that may or may not have been recorded by the French secret service. Set during an election clearly intended to elicit parallels with current right-wing campaigns from Marine Le Pen to Donald Trump, the film, at one time given the unwieldy English title “The Eavesdropper,” boasts the kind of skillfully crafted script that keeps audiences tensely guessing the outcome until the delicious “did that just happen?” denouement.
Eva
Benoît
Jacquot
With Isabelle Huppert and Gaspard
Ulliel.
A psychological thriller,
“Eva” is adapted from James Hadley Chase’s novel which turns on a beautiful, yet lethal woman, to be played
by Huppert.
The Beguiled
Sofia Coppola
With: Elle Fanning, Nicole Kidman, Colin Farrell, Kirsten Dunst
During the Civil War, an injured Union soldier hides out in a girls’ boarding school in Mississippi. A seductive thriller, remake of Don Siegel’s 1971 Western melodrama.

Brawl in Cell Block 99
S. Craig
Zahler (Bone Tomahawk)
With Vince Vaughn, Don
Johnson and Udo Kier.
A former boxer becomes a
drug runner, only to end up in prison and forced to fight for his life.
We Go On
Andy Mitton and Jesse Holland (Yellowbrickroad)
A Los Angeles loner afraid of death discovers a little more about the afterlife than he wanted. A supernatural drama that will intrigue genre fans while frustrating those looking for more formulaic horror-content payoff. This uneven but watchable effort stars Clark Freeman as a man of many phobias whose terror of death leads him to find out more about the afterlife than he wanted. Given a significant boost by Annette O’Toole’s turn as the protagonist’s stubbornly protective mother.
Based on a True Story

Bad Day for the Cut
Chris Baugh
A pile of
corpses
paves the way to revenge for a
seemingly mild-mannered but resourceful-when-roused protagonist in “Bad Day for
the Cut.” Accomplished debut feature manages to develop its own distinct flavor while fitting snugly
into the general tradition of latter-day U.K. gangster pics, with their rueful humor, colorful characters and
realistically nasty violence.
Asura: The City of Madness
Kim Sung-soo
Splattered with Korean
aesthetics of troglodytic violence
and blighted by irredeemable characters, Kim
Sung-soo’s “Asura: The City of Madness” is a stygian crime thriller with a jaundiced eye at South Korean
regional politics. The cesspool of venal humanity does exert grisly
fascination, and those who can contain their moral disgust will become invested
in the antihero — a crooked cop
caught between the devil and the deep blue sea. In Indian mythology,
Asuras are demigods consumed by negative
passions, perpetually fighting each other. This couldn’t be a better
allegory for the protagonists, whose thirst for money and power turn the world
into a living hell.
I ovo odavno ima da se skine, ali dostupni titl je još uvek previše mehanički i sirov da bi se s njim moglo gledati. Ako neko naleti na dobar titl, nek javi.
SF
Blade Runner 2049
Denis
Villeneuve
(Arrival)
With: Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford, Robin Wright, Mackenzie
Davis, Jared Leto
Sequel to Ridley Scott’s sci-fi classic, picking up with an older Deckard thirty years on from the events of the original. Original writer Hamilton Fancher co-writing the script with Michael Green. Villeneuve’s bringing regular collaborators Roger Deakins and Johan Johansson, so it should look and sound amazing.

LUDILA
Anti-Porno
Sion Sono

A film commissioned by Nikkatsu to relaunch its Porn Novel, which the author turned into a personal and metaphysical exercise.
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure
Takashi Miike
Live-action, based on the manga by Hirohiko Araki, is slated for
the summer. In a world where people can wield psychic avatars, a family must unite to track down a serial killer.
Karaoke Crazies
Kim Sang-Chan
This debut feature is a charmingly off-beat drama about a failing karaoke bar and the band of oddballs who make it their home. First off, Sang-Chan deserves credit for executing a film which boomerangs through tones so fast it will give you whiplash. At one moment the film will have you giggling at its ridiculous nature, at others there’s an eerie intensity, but even when the film seems to throw its lot in with violence and rape, and it still swings back around to family-friendly joviality.
Vox Lux
Brady Corbet (Childhood Of A Leader)
With: Rooney Mara, Jude Law
Drama set between 1999 and the present day, following a young woman as she rises from tragedy to become a pop superstar.

The Insects
Jan Svankmajer
Svankmajer is loosely basing his latest on a 1922 play from the Čapek Brothers, From the Life of Insects, combined with Kafka’s The Metamorphosis. Six amateur thespians meet in a pub to rehearse the Čapeks’ play, while their personal stories interweave with those of the characters they are about to play. The play is intended as a backdrop in which insects behave like humans and humans like insects.
David Lynch: The Art Life
Jon Nguyen
Nominally focused on the
celebrated filmmaker’s lesser-known dabblings
in fine art, “The Art Life” emerges as a more expansive study of Lynch’s creative impulses and
preoccupations, as he relates first-hand the
formative experiences that spurred and shaped a most unusual imagination.
Essentially a feature-length interview
with the man himself, with no other on-screen contributors, the doc’s
simplicity of form belies the kinks and curves of its portraiture.
King of the Belgians
Jessica Woolworth & Peter Brosens (LA
CINQUIEME SAISON).
A hair-raising quintessence
of European fairy tales around the
last king of the Belgians lost in the
Balkans.
Belgian king Nicolas III and his small retinue –
including a war-correspondent-turned-documentarian – are stranded in Turkey
just as Wallonia secedes from Belgium. Smuggling themselves out of Istanbul
disguised as folk singers, the crew set out on an anthropological voyage across the Balkans.
Let the Bodies Sunbathe!
Helene Cattet and Bruno Forzani (Amer i The Strange Color of Your Body’s Tears)
Based on a 1971 novel by
famed French crime novelist
Jean-Patrick Manchette, Let the Bodies Sunbathe! (aka Corpses in the Sun) seems to center
around the eccentric hostess of an
isolated locale who comes in contact with stolen gold in a van as well as
policemen on the trail of the perpetrators that attempted to steal it.
Rag Union
This Russian absurdist tragicomedy about a punk nihilist collective enjoyably
showcases a livewire quartet of young thesps.
Not many films open in
utero, with a fetus smoking a cigarette as his older self intones in voiceover,
“I have a terrible memory,” but “Rag Union” isn’t like many films. A bracing tragicomic punk fable, it also
features homemade bombs, beetle-eating and parkour, along with one of the
sparkier and more committed no-name ensemble performances of recent memory. The
brainchild of Gen-X debut scripter-helmer Mikhail Mestetskiy, this is textured firecracker filmmaking, where
the stunts and surreality can’t wholly drown out a howl of rage over the political status quo in contemporary
Russia. Genuine entertainment value.
