Street Film Presents: Our Picks for The Best of Fall
[poll id=7] A Dangerous Method Plot: Legendary psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud (Mortenson) and his protégé Carl Jung (Fassbender) have overlapping relationships with the beautiful and disturbed Sabina Spielrein. Reasoning: The Mortenson–Fassbender combo is enough to get us to see this opening weekend (maybe more than once), but it’s the recent legacy of Cronenberg’s films (A History of Violence, Eastern Promises) that has us anxious. Potential Downfall: Keira Knightly’s Russian accent. The Skin I Live In Plot: A surgeon (Banderas) works to develop a damage-resistant synthetic skin with a test subject who is linked to his tragic past. Reasoning: Almodóvar knows how to get under our skin with past Spanish–language emotional rollercoasters like Bad Education and Talk to Her, but it’s Banderas’ ability to find the pitch–perfect balance between revenge and stoicism that creeps us out the most. Potential Downfall: Graphic home biolabs might not be for everyone. Like Crazy Plot: The romance between a British and an American college student is torn apart when her she’s deported due to an expired visa. Reasoning: This quiet indie piqued our interest when it won the Grand Jury Dramatic Prize at Sundance, but the trailer featuring delicate and love–lorn shots of the two young stars captured our hearts without seeming cliche. Potential Downfall: We don’t need another Blue Valentine quite yet. J.
