Obsession (2015)

Одинокий Марк Льюис днем работает на киностудии, а ночью делает пикантные фотографии женщин. Кроме того, он снимает документальный фильм о страхе, в котором запечатляет реакцию жертв в момент их убийства.

This documentary about the culture of intense cinephilia in New York City reveals the impassioned world of five obsessed movie buffs. These human encyclopedias of cinema see two to five films a day, and from 600 to 2,000 films per year. This is the story of their lives, their memories, their unbending habits and the films they love.

В Канне проходит очередной кинофестиваль. В восхитительном приморском местечке собрались кинематографисты из всех стран мира. Но в этом ужасном году каннская идиллия обагрится кровью киношников… В этот раз знаменитый курорт — превратитсяв город страха… Здесь орудует чудовищный маньяк, безжалостно истребляющий киномехаников. Садист появляется в кинотеатре в зловещей маске сварщика, а затем расправляется со своими жертвами при помощи… чего бы Вы думали? Серпа и молота! Убийца полностью перевоплотился в ужасного героя дешевого фильма ужасов «Красный — мертв». Часы тикают, количество жертв растет… Теперь кто-то должен остановить убийцу!

An evening at the local movie theater, including a sing-along led by Maestro Stickoutski at the Mighty Fertilizer organ, a Goofy-Tone newsreel, and the feature, Petrified Florist, featuring caricatures of Bette Davis and Leslie Howard.

In this short film, two starstruck movie fans hire a tour guide and see a plethora of Hollywood stars.

An old 35mm film projector was entirely disassembled, a mould was made of every part, a bronze copy was then created and the bronze parts were subsequently assembled. The whole process was filmed, to then be projected by the new, bronze projector. The observation that a projector projects the process of its own creation goes beyond a purely conceptual statement. This project is simultaneously an ode to craftsmanship and to how that changed radically over the course of the 20th century. The precise type of projector, the Iskra NP-21, also calls a complete history to mind, as Iskra was as omnipresent in Tito’s post-war Yugoslavia as Bosch and Miele in the West. In this manner, what is perhaps the very last, ultimate 35mm projector simultaneously becomes the first fully-fledged monument to a culturally supremely important device.

A itinerant cinema comes to Rita’s small town and she has the opportunity to go to the movies for the first time in a long time.

The film appears like a ritual with splendids and crypteds psalms. The Great Master of Order (Marcel Mazé, new fetish actor after Aloual) seduces the young male prey with a running cinema projector which carves Murnau's Nosferatu extracts on their bodies. Metamorphosis, rituals passages, Eros and Thanotos, illusion and reality, film into the film are the themes and images in perpetual osmosis in this Stéphane Marti's opus.

A young boy called Murad, who aspires to become like Shahrukh Khan.

A young vampire, named Selena, resides in Los Angeles and has her mute lackey Monk hunt down women to kill and drink their blood. Selena brings into her small group Antonio, a hulking wolf-man to assist and further terrorize the people of L.A. In the meantime, a dogged police inspector and a resourceful young woman try to piece together the strange murders and disappearances before more victims turn up.
