The Capsule

In her new film, [Athina Rachel] Tsangari [Attenberg] delights in the fantasy of high fashion… forging a work that bears her signature stamp but also sees her experimenting like never before… [It] features an ensemble of first-rate (and drop-dead gorgeous) young actresses… in a twisted fairy tale shot in an 18th-century mansion on the breathtaking island of Hydra. Inspired by the Goya-like drawings of acclaimed Polish artist Aleksandra Waliszewska (who co-wrote the film), The Capsule is a "Greek Gothic" female romance, a Cycladic distortion of the three "Bs": Brontë, Bataille, and Buñuel.—Andréa Picard Plays with: Story for the Modlins and Morning of Saint Anthony’s Day
