Let The Corpses Tan (2017) ****1/2
Let The Corpses Tan (2017), Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani's avant-garde version of an Italian Western/robbery/siege film (their third), does not disappoint. It only got better on a second viewing, still sitting comfortably at the number two position on my Top Films Of 2018 (when it was released in the States).
Corpses blurs, scratch that, obliterates the line between reality and fantasy. It's pure art, pure cinema—chock-full of the bizarre eroticism, fetishistic close-ups, and over the top violence one expects from this brilliant directing duo, this time primarily featuring a sun-bleached backdrop and a more fleshed out (literally) story.
Corpses is a non-stop assault on the senses—an audio-visual heist (if you'll forgive the pun)—featuring superb sound design, schizophrenic editing, and a perfectly curated soundtrack of Italian cuts (heavy on the Morricone). Not for everyone, but very much for me.
