A24 Films on Kanopy
With FilmStruck sadly heading into its early grave last night, one may be looking for more options for streaming. One of the best alternatives is Kanopy, which can be accessed for free with a library card in select areas. They’ve also just added a wealth of A24 films ranging from this year’s First Reformed and Lean on Pete all the way back to their first offerings like Enemy and Spring Breakers.

No one makes movies quite like French husband-and-wife team Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani. The directing duo first made a splash in 2009 with “Amer,” a postmodern homage to Italian giallo films that was followed up by another giallo homage, 2013’s “The Strange Color of Your Body’s Tears.” Both films are filled with a stunning blend of eye-popping and provocative visuals, a kaleidoscope of colors that evokes Dario Argento’s sumptuous technicolor nightmares, woven together with scores lifted from giallos from yesteryear. With this intoxicating cinematic formula, Cattet and Forzani quickly became must-watch genre filmmakers.
Rather than sticking with this successful formula, they branched out with their latest film, “Let the Corpses Tan,” putting their own spin on the western. “Let the Corpses Tan” takes place on a sun-soaked, isolated island hideaway, where a grizzled thug named Rhino (Stéphane Ferrara) and his gang plan to hide away with an eccentric artist,...

This past Friday, Kino Lorber released Let the Corpses Tan, the latest movie from the filmmaking team of Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani in New York and Los Angeles, and this week, their tribute to ’70s Italian crime cinema expands to theaters across the Us, bringing together an eclectic gaggle of characters in a bullet-riddled ballet drenched in sun, sweat, and hallucinatory visions. Daily Dead recently had the opportunity to speak with both Forzani and Cattet about their decision to turn the Let the Corpses Tan novel (written by Jean-Patrick Manchette and Jean-Pierre Bastid) into a cinematic experience, their approach to this story, the immense difficulties of finding their filming location, and more.
Congrats on the film, you guys. What was it about the story in the original book that felt right to you about translating it for film?
Hélène Cattet: First, it was me who read the book, and when I read the book,...

Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani’s Let the Corpses Tan is a film about sensations, derived more so from the mechanics of filmmaking than from storytelling. Like their previous works, it exists as a standalone genre film in the classic European mold, even when divorced from its stylistic trappings, with sunshine and gunfire supplanting dark corridors and unsheathed daggers. In the last ten years, the reception of Cattet and Forzani has come to understand theirs as a tactile cinema: What happens onscreen is never quite as important as how it looks and sounds—or perhaps, how it ‘feels’—while it’s happening. While Corpses is certainly exploitation cinema formally in its emulation of European westerns and gangster films, it is also exploitation cinema by design in its manipulation and abstraction of photography and sound.As with their two previous features Amer (2009) and The Strange Color of Your Body’s Tears...

French directing duo Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani burst onto the genre scene with their mesmerizing, impeccably crafted 2009 giallo film Amer. The married couple followed it up with the even more daring spiritual sequel The Strange Colour of Your Bodies Tears. Now, Cattet and Forzani are back and bringing their talent for precision filmmaking into other genres.

As the summer comes to a close, it seems as though most distributors–especially on the indie side–were holding onto their gems before the busy fall festival slate as a number of the year’s best films arrive this month. If we’re being honest, though, our most-anticipated film won’t actually get a theatrical release, but will instead arrive on The Criterion Collection with Terrence Malick’s extended edition of The Tree of Life. However for this feature, we’ll stick to those films one will be able to see in theaters, so without further adieu, here are the 15 films we recommend this month.
Matinees to See: Nico, 1988 (8/1), Christopher Robin (8/3), A Prayer Before Dawn (8/10), Buybust (8/10), Summer of ’84 (8/10), Crazy Rich Asians (8/15), Juliet, Naked (8/17), Memoir of War (8/17), Notes on an Appearance (8/17), We the Animals (8/17), The Wife (8/17), The Night is Short, Walk On Girl (8/21), What Keeps You Alive (8/24), Papillon (8/24), The Happytime Murders...

Stars: Elina Lowensohn, Stephane Ferrara, Bernie Bonvoisin, Herve Sogne, Michelangelo Marchese, Marc Barbe, Pierre Nisse, Marine Sainsily, Dorilya Calmel, Aline Stevens, Dominique Troyes, Bamba | Written and Directed by Helene Cattet, Bruno Forzani
Belgian co-directors Helene Cattet and Bruno Forzani garnered an instant cult following with Amer (2009) and The Strange Colour of Your Body’s Tears (2013), both of which paid luxurious homage to 1970s giallo movies. Their latest film, Let the Corpses Tan (or Laissez Bronzer les Cadavres, original language fans) sees the pair applying their expert pastiche skills to violent European crime thrillers of the same decade, to deliriously enjoyable effect.
Loosely adapted from a 1971 French novel by Jean-Patrick Machete and Jean-Pierre Bastid, the plot is deceptively simple and a good deal more coherent than either of Cattet and Forzani’s previous films. Former Hal Hartley muse Elina Lowensohn plays Luce, a middle-aged artist who lives in a run-down,...

It’s been a weekend full of reviews from the Toronto International Film Festival, and along with the premieres, it means producers or (if the film is lucky enough) distributors releasing the first look at footage in an attempt to drum up interest and stand out of the pack of hundreds of others at the festival. Well, it seems to have done the trick as we’re posting a round-up today.
First up, we have the first trailer for Let the Corpses Tan, the latest film from Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani, the duo behind Amer and The Strange Colour of Your Body’s Tears. We reviewed it here, and the preview displays some of the visual inventiveness at play. Along with that, there are previews for three other anticipated projects, including the Netflix documentary One of Us, arriving on the platform on October, as well as a pair of...

The filmmaking duo Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani have gone about in some kind of relative obscurity since their first feature Amer in 2009. While that striking debut perhaps should’ve garnered them more attention, as well as the subsequent The Strange Colour of Your Body’s Tears, it feels safe to say they’re not out to get that crossover hit. If anything, they seem content kind of just doing the same thing over and over again.
To those not in the know, their whole deal is doing riffs on genre that cut out virtually all the connective tissue, leaving simply a procession of visual tropes. In the case of Let the Corpses Tan, there’s closeups on squinted eyes and gun barrels, aggressive whip pans and overbearing Morricone-esque music cues. Some will say they’re filmmakers made for those who find most Italian exploitation movies boring for the...

Having plunged as deep as their knives could go into the long-dead corpse of the giallo genre in Amer and The Strange Color of Your Body’s Tears, Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani now forge a kind of hybrid of the spaghetti Westerns and Italian crime films of the late ’60s, stripping out nearly all story and keeping the sublime transfixion on material iconography and brute behaviour. Adapted from Jean-Patrick Manchette’s lean debut novel from 1971 (co-written by Jean-Pierre Bastid, who, like Manchette, was also immersed in genre cinema), Let the Corpses Tan opens with target practice shooting up neo-expressionist paintings, introducing the two groups (artists and gangsters) hiding atop a Corsican redoubt. After a whip-fast gold heist along the coast (executed by Cattet and Forzani with a fiercely staccato musical precision) attracts the local police, the mixed-class gang holes up in the sun-baked ruins to fight first against the law and,...

Let the Corpses TanThis year at the Locarno Festival I am looking for specific images, moments, techniques, qualities or scenes from films across the 70th edition's selection that grabbed me and have lingered past and beyond the next movie seen, whose characters, story and images have already begun to overwrite those that came just before.***A camera pans across a beachfront—simple enough, yet as it moves the expanding tumult of water seems to unspool unendingly, stretching and smearing and even more: it wraps around the screen, a sensorium beyond Cinerama and cyclorama akin to Ernie Gehr’s vertiginous coastal flyover-film, Glider (2001). And then another plane is added, a cascade of water from top to bottom, brewing a three dimensional cinematic hurricane in homage to—and in magical reconstruction of—the terrific storm that hit Galveston, Texas in 1900. Stereoscopic images of the storm’s aftermath is but one inspiration for...

Exclusive: Bac releases first image of third feature from cult genre film directors.
Bac Films International has picked up sales on French genre writer-director duo Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani’s upcoming feature.
Let The Corpses Tan is the third feature from the Brussels-based couple after their cult ‘giallo’-inspired hits The Strange Color Of Your Body’s Tears and Amer.
The new work is adapted from the debut novel of late 1970s French crime writer Jean-Patrick Manchette, Laissez Bronzer les Cadavres, which Manchette co-wrote with screenwriter Jean-Pierre Bastid.
Set against the blue seas and blazing sun of a perfect Mediterranean summer, the film revolves around Rhino and his gang of professional thieves.
They think they have found the perfect place to hide out and stash a haul of gold in a remote hamlet controlled by a female artist who moved there for inspiration.

Let the Bodies Sunbathe!
Directors: Helene Cattet and Bruno Forzani // Writers: Helene Cattet and Bruno Forzani
Belgian couple Helene Cattet and Bruno Forzani have amassed quite a notable following based on their first two films, Amer (2009) and The Strange Color of Your Body’s Tears (2013), both reconstitutions of the giallo film. Visually spectacular examinations that generally overwhelm the slight, elliptical plots confined somewhere within them, their next film seems to be a change of pace. Based on a 1971 novel by famed French crime novelist Jean-Patrick Manchette (who wrote the novel upon which the upcoming Sean Penn film The Gunman was based) and co-written with Jean-Pierre Bastid, Let the Bodies Sunbathe! (aka Corpses in the Sun) seems to center around the eccentric hostess of an isolated locale who comes in contact with stolen gold in a van as well as policemen on the trail of the perpetrators that attempted to steal it.

Though there is no green light in place yet and things can always change at these early stages, it appears that Amer and The Strange Colour Of Your Body's Tears directing duo Bruno Forzani and Helene Cattet may have found their next project.Chatter is surfacing in France (such as in this French interview at 1kult) that the duo are circling a film adaptation of 1971 cult novel Laissez Bronzer Les Cadavres - loosely translated as Let The Corpses Tan - by authors Jean-Patrick Manchette and Jean-Pierre Bastid. Other Manchette works have been adapted to film as The Gunman and Three To Kill while Bastid is perhaps better known under his cult filmmaker non de plume as Jean-Luc Grodard.There does not appear to be an English...
