It happens to be one of those week where we are getting tons of movie poster images. Just the way we like it. Here we have a pair from Magnolia Pictures – first off we have the Cannes selected newest pic from the filmmaker behind Irma Vep and Demonlover. To be release via Magnet Releasing this coming March, Boarding Gate sees the spunky Asia Argento play sexy ex-prostitute Sandra,
who is forced to flee London after a steamy S&M encounter with a
debt-ridden ex-lover (Michael Madsen) ends in violence. Fleeing to Hong
Kong in search of a fresh start, she becomes involved with an
attractive young couple, Lester (Carl Ng) and Sue (Kelly Lin), who
promise to help her obtain papers and money. But nothing turns out as
expected for Sandra, and she finds herself trapped in a sordid game of
manipulation.
Seeing that I’m a big fan of U.K helmer David Mackenzie since Young Adam, I’ve been waiting to see Mister Foe since the moment it was called Hallam Foe. Based on the screenplay by Ed Whitmore and based on the novel by
Peter Jinks – this is a twisted Freudian adventure, the film centres on
Hallam Foe, a teenage (Bell) voyeur who fancies his step-mother until
he becomes convinced that she murdered his mother. He leaves home when
she seduces him and begins a feral life in the rooftops of Edinburgh
until he spots and becomes obsessed with a girl who looks just like his
mother. Magnolia Pictures releases this in June.
