If the entire world is bad, why shouldn’t we be? Adopting this insolent attitude as their guiding philosophy, a pair of hedonistic young women, both named Marie, embark on a gleefully debauched odyssey of gluttony, giddy destruction, and antipatriarchal resistance, in which nothing is safe from their nihilistic pursuit of pleasure. But what happens when the fun is over? (Criterion)
Part of PAM CUT @ The Whitsell’s inaugural film series, Maximalist Dreamscapes. These bold, visionary films don’t just show us what is—they construct alternate possibilities, expand our perception of the world, and open portals to entirely new dimensions.
