“The Ugly Stepsister” begins with the tragically forced communion of two families as the brace-faced, ringleted Elvira arrives via carriage at a Victorian estate in Sweden. The grounds are a swirl of 18th-century gothic details, recognizable to Grimm heads who can already smell the inevitability of awful events locking into place. In a twisted take on the classic Cinderella story, where beauty is a brutal business, Elvira, a meticulous reader of a book of romantic writings and poetry by Prince Julian, battles to compete with her incredibly beautiful stepsister.Read More »

A surreal travel drama, shot on Sicility with Italian actors. Il Viaggio Clandestino is a film about saints and sinners. Whether you are blessed or doomed is often dependent on someone’s soul that on whether they pray or suffer. The kindred spirit of San Gil! the Holy Gil! is Ciccio Bavaria who, unlike the former, continues to seek sin. For Bavaria sin is liberating and dynamic. The film tells the story of the journey made by these two protagonists; a journey that leads to the demise of San Gil, while Bavaria is reincarnated as Buddha. There is another traveler, a clandestine traveler. Christ, always fleeing the angels. This Christ does not help humanity with miracles, but by keeping himself alive as best he can giving weather forecasts. In this strange sanity story, Ruiz allowed himself to be inspired by apocryphal books about saints of flesh and blood.Read More »
