CHERRY
DIR: Matt Burgess

CHERRY is a 45 minute dream-like experimental film that explores the erotic, horrifying and hypnotic qualities of consumption, ritual and pleasure. It is seen through the eyes of a lonely boy (Jasper Marlow) as he becomes increasingly obsessed with an hedonistic video artist (Georgina Lloyd) and her group of oversexed, violent, cannibalistic followers (Lily Matchett, Taylor Litton-Strain, Mitch Farkas) and longs to be a part of their decadent world. Also starring Jaime Lewis, Sarah Burgess, Dane McCusker, Aimee Tracton, Amy Klein, Blake Kendall, Charles Purcell & Greer Chester.

The Auteurs Confessions over 1 year ago

- I’ve never seen Citizen Kane, The Godfather, Casablanca etc. and honestly have no real interest in ever seeing them. In terms of those typical cliche films that will appear on “greatest films ever” lists til the end of time, I guess I prefer female-driven pics (Sunset Blvd., All About Eve) or colourful melodrama/fantasy (Wizard Of Oz, Gone With The Wind) to them.

- Showgirls is my favourite film of all time. And not as a ironic/“so bad its good” film. I genuinely think its a masterpiece.

- Barbarella is my favourite sci-fi movie. Danger: Diabolik is my favourite superhero/comic book movie.

- The only Fellini film I’ve seen so far is Toby Dammit (and loved it).

- I MUCH prefer Paul Morrissey, John Waters and Kenneth Anger to Martin Scorsese, Woody Allen and Stanley Kubrick. oh shit i said it.

- Although I’ve enjoyed what the few films I’ve seen of Godard, Bergman, Antoinioni etc, I can’t really be bothered seeking any more of their films out until I see every single Jess Franco, Jean Rollin and Walerian Borowcyzk film first. I do LOVE Fassbinder and Pasolini (guess I just prefer the queers).

- I honestly didn’t find Salo: 120 Days Of Sodom all that disturbing, at least on a hugely viseral level. I actually found it more aesthetically beautiful. In A Glass House however almost destroyed me (still its one of my favourite films of all time).

- I LOVED Twilight. Never read the books and don’t plan to but found the film uniquely and beautifully retarded. There’s no defending the piece of shit script but it was the whole mood I loved, just this overwhelming pathetic pure teen longing distilled and exaggerated to a level that is almost hypnotic. Plus its fucking hilarious. To me it was way fucking weirder and genuine than try-hard cult shit like Repo: The Genetic Opera. However, New Moon was just plain shitty, very dull and studio. Maybe I just liked Catherine Hardwicke.

- Black and white films have to be REALLY fucking good or else i’ll be easily bored to death.

- I just can’t watch anything at all by Pixar no matter how everyone says how great it is. CGI animation is just the ugliest aesthetics of all time, I just can’t get past it.

- Jennifer’s Body was awesome and totally underrated. And I hated Juno with every fiber of my being. Diablo Cody suits glossy horror much better than shitty indie twee “feel good” comedy.

- I can pretty much enjoy any horror film no matter how awful. Ditto to film centered around teen girls. Ditto to any Lindsay Lohan movie.

Shiiiittt, I haven’t gone on karagarga for over a year cause I’ve only had dial up and the day I finally get broadband I log onto karagara and find my account has been deleted cause I haven’t been using it.

If anyone can spare an invite, please please email me at wickedmiranda@gmail.com

Look at my profile, I can share a lot of obscure shit I have on my computer – cult, exploitation, horror, surreal, erotic, experimental etc
