New Stuff: Christian Keßler

 


Stella Maxwell


Shanty Tramp (1967)


 
On a hot night in Dixie, the local shanty tramp heads out for adventure and leaves disaster in her wake. 
 
Absolute sleazy smalltown exploitation drama with a superficial anti-racist message is mainly remarkable for its dark, nihilist view of rural Americana with no hope for redemption.

Emma. (2020)


 

 
In 1800s England, a well meaning but selfish young woman meddles in the love lives of her friends. 

This is a solid, lively and entertaining adaptation of the Jane Austen classic, maybe not the best, but it has great performances and excellent period detail.
