The Truth is….The Good Liar Rocks
At first glance, “The Good Liar” is a respectable piece of fiction, starring Ian McKellen and Helen Mirren. But underneath everything, the film expertly hones the unpredictability of deceit.
Under Siege
After a devastating global audiovisual war, the world is unrecognizable, with influencers, content creators and their unwilling, zombie-like followers emerging as the victors. Traditional cinema is all but extinct, with its defenders persecuted and erased from the digital landscape. But the resistance is not lost. A last group of filmmakers, armed with old cameras and a few meters of film, refuses to surrender. As they fight to reclaim their craft, they must survive in a dystopian world where viral trends are the law and authenticity is a crime.
