Episode 48 of One Week Only! This week's key film is "Dark Night" a haunting, lyrical film about small town life and the growing threat of gun violence. Inspired by the Aurora movie theatre shootings during a screening of "The Dark Knight," this is a challenging but arresting look at the mundane details of life seeped in in the danger and uncertainty of our times. Directed by Tim Sutton, it opens this week in New York.
We also review the 2014 Sundance winner "Imperial Dreams," directed by Max Vitthal and starring John Boyega, that's finally getting released via Netflix Streaming, and we review one of the best films of 2017 so far, the brilliantly deranged mermaid horror musical "The Lure" directed by Agnieszka Smoczynska. Check out Carlos's interview with Smoczynska and many more filmmakers on the MovieMaker Magazine website.
Our interview this week is for the Slamdance film "Weather House," a strange dark comedy about a house of people surviving a climate catastrophe. We talk with co-directors Frauke Havemann and Eric Schefter about making a German film in English and creating the striking visual images in the film.
