“Don’t live here, don’t surf here”.
Another Nic Cage for Acting president, method of madness award ;)
Australian-Irish The Surfer was Cages first official Cannes fest selection in 34 years (after 1990's Wild at Heart!).
Mandy was in Quinzaine. Also Dog Eat Dog.
A cross of Wake in Fright with The Wicker Man (one of Cage's most insane films is the remake of the cult British film of 1973), it's a psychedelic drama, unfolding in the Australian surfing territory.
Great score by Francois Tetaz, all reminiscent of Ennio Morricone's sound.
Written by Thomas Martin, who took a cue from the short story that based 1968's Burt Lancaster's The Swimmer.
Directed by Lorcan Finnegan who debuted with an interesting curio back in 2019, Vivarium.
But the most interesting thing in it is Julian Mc Mahon, recently passed away at 56 :( He's the main attraction in the film, as Scally, the macho guru of the beach, dressed all in Red.
Sight and Sound review here.
