“Forbidden Fruits” (2026)
Not every film can make a shopping mall feel both magical and menacing, but Forbidden Fruits challenges that.

Andrea Nastri is a successful entrepreneur who founded a company that deals with a very particular market: making people relive lived experiences through sophisticated projection technology. Andrea lost his father as a child, so this technology represents a way for him to be able to relive him. This process being very invasive is also much criticized by the press and newspapers. Pushed by the desire to make his father's hologram more real, Andrea will push himself beyond all limits, abusing the technology and immersing himself in a world where the line between real and projection is blurred. Only by accepting the truth will Andrea be able to rid himself of his fears.

An aspect of She-Ra that I find refreshing is even though a large portion of the cast is on the LGBTQ+ Spectrum, being gay is never mentioned. While this might initially sound like a negative thing, in the show’s land of Etheria being on the gay spectrum is shown to be so common and normalized that straight isn’t the default. As much as there is to appreciate about narratives revolving around the obstacles that may come from being non-heteronormative, it’s nice to get immersed in a world where no one bats an eye at all to any sort of differing identity.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show not only supported Tim curry queer individuals who were closeted or harassed. It made people question their identity, orientation, and lifestyles that they never had before.
The 'Shaft' remake fails to capture Blaxpoitation's rebellious spirit.
