Raw Footage (1977)
Excellent wacky Findlay XXX that's criminally overlooked!
No need to write a full-length review, because the previous one from IMDb user lor_ is particularly excellent.
At the heart of Findlay's best films is a sense a profound mischievousness, and while the accoutrement required of erotica is certainly there - Findlay's consistent use of the finest attractive and able performers as well as her sort of id-provoking story and sex scene set ups - the real star is always Roberta. You always find yourself asking "who could have ever made such a thing!?" ... Even though you already know the answer: Roberta F'n Findlay.
Arizona (2018)
Weird, hilarious and creepy ... !
What was do great about dark comedies of the past was their willingness to be strange, to play with expectation and tone. Nowadays so-called "dark" comedies are one of two kinds of paint-by-numbers film: a) the soulless mean-spirited gross-out or b) the fix-it-in-the-edit jokes as darts mess ... ARIZONA dares to take it back to the truly weird world of one-of-a-kind films like LITTLE MURDERS, or BONE, or HAROLD AND MAUDE. Danny McBride is hilarious *but still terrifying* as a bumbling happenstance criminal whose ineptitude is the only thing more dangerous than his corrupt morals. Rosemarie DeWitt is excellent in a truly unique role that few actresses would have the guts to attempt. One of the year's best by far.
Indiana (2017)
Utterly brilliant ... one of the best films of the last several years.
It's a crime that as the 2000's creep forward, the best and most original films languish without coverage or distribution. INDIANA has the investigative supernatural vibe of the best X-Files episodes, and the tinge of humor from the best Jody Hill / Danny McBride collaborations, but really this is a movie that walks its own walk. It doesn't shy away from being funny, yet it will cut you to the bone when it wants to be chilling and wrench your heart when you least expect it. Perhaps most importantly, INDIANA dares to do what films have forgotten how to do in 2018: it asks questions. BIG questions ... and not because the filmmakers have some convenient answer they want you to agree with. But because agreeing on the questions with each other is our only hope for any kind of inner peace in a world gone mad.
