Extinct (2021): Fresh Donuts, Half Baked Morals
The plot lags, the moral lessons are misguided, but are those fluffy little donut creatures adorable? Yes. Yes, they are.
A.E.I.O.U.X.Y.Z.
To the music of the Residents: the clan of vowels embodied by the tribal Gretcha Cargo, her flesh painted by Geneviève Hervé, who then made her first dance video. The electronic effects were designed to echo the makeup: the colors merge and interact under the movements of the dancer, thus transformed. The tape, winner of the Tokyo Festival Prize in 1983, was notably broadcast on the show Houba Houba by Antoine de Caunes in 1982, then at “Video Danse 1984” at the Center Pompidou.

'Morbius' Uses Vampirism as a Queer Allegory
After two months of refusing to see this movie, I have decided that it’s finally Morbin’ time. After its re-release as a box office bomb; I watched it just to laugh at it. But, I was also surprised, because 'Morbius' is a queer allegory.
