We’ve been tracking this duo since Amer (2009) and shortly after 2013’s The Strange Colour of Your Body’s Tears. Once news dropped that Locarno would premiere their third collaboration we were hopeful that the North American release would be found in Toronto…and bingo! Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani deliver in the eye candy department with Laissez bronzer les cadavres (aka Let the Corpses Tan) and once again, this is a sensorial heavy experience. They stayed after their premiere for a quick Q&A going over the adaption and influences and casting (which I must add, was spot on perfection).

Ken Russell’s The Devils – 2010 Fantasia International Film Festival
Iconic director Ken Russell was in town to receive a lifetime achievement award from Fantasia for his 50-plus years in the business, a career that has spawned many genre classics including Altered States, Gothic, and The Lair of the White Worm. But it was the little-seen and hard to find The Devils from 1971 that proved to be Russell's most controversial work, and Fantasia managed to snag a copy to be screened on Russell's big night. In the video, Russell discusses the true story behind the film and receives his award with the grace befitting one of the great filmmakers of all time.
