"You don’t know my name, do you?" No way out of that one. Sickboy is an impressive short film made by NYC-based filmmaker Julian Muller, who has been making shorts for years while working on productions in the city. "Even though he could've had everything, a man lives his life searching the streets of New York for anything." Antonio Magro stars as Jeff, a homeless man wandering the streets. Every day that passes in New York City, Jeff finds a way to get through it. The short also stars Sarah Wisser and Rachel Hale. This has the look and feel of a Safdie Brothers film, which Julian admits was a major inspiration.

After Iggy Pop’s triumphant gigs in London last month, the mania continues with this curio, an erotic thriller, featuring him in his first leading role. If you’re the sort of person who can never get enough of this wonderfully grizzled, whip-lean 69-year-old’s naked torso, this will hold you over, at least until Gimme Danger, the Jim Jarmusch-directed documentary about Pop gets its UK release. Unfortunately, it also demonstrates his pronounced limitations as an actor, even when playing a variant on himself. Pop’s Bill is an ageing rock star, twisted with spinal trouble and nearly blind, but seemingly happily married to sexy widow Isabelle, played by Kacey Clarke.
