X, Pearl AND MaXXXine : a great trilogy by Ti West
We’ve never talked about it so much You West this since the release of his horror film X (2022). The director is not a debutante, but his cinema is not very well known to the general public. A niche filmmaker, who in recent times has nevertheless managed to reach a slightly wider cinephile world. Even if, in terms of number of admissions in France, X It was not a success (only 48,689 admissions), the feature film had good support from the press. We ourselves praised this tribute Chainsaw Massacre for its ability to open a reflection on the relationship with celebrity.
From then on there was great anticipation to discover the prequel Pearl (2023)which had terrified Martin Scorsese. With this film, Ti West and her actress, are exceptional Mia Goth (who wears every movie)have reached a remarkable level of fascination. After having proposed a joyful massacre in the late 70s against the backdrop of a pornographic film, the director has placed the plot of Pearl at the end of the 1910s to tell the story of the youth of the murderer-grandmother of X. This time the reference was Psycho. The director shows the crushing weight of a strict mother and religion on a young girl who dreams of freedom and hopes to escape her life by becoming a star.
We dare say, Pearl is in our opinion a masterpiecemarked in particular by Mia Goth’s performance (his 9-minute monologue). His lack of recognition for this film at major awards ceremonies is also one of the biggest oversights in recent years.
Movie Marathons This Summer
After these two works, we cannot imagine Ti West getting lost. MaXXXinewhich will then come conclude his trilogy. Because Mia Goth is still there playing the only survivor of X and has decided to go to Hollywood to become a professional actress. Then because the enthusiasm around the film is really felt, with very positive feedback. The Cinema Notebooks he talks about it for example as a “brilliant success“, and sees”the completion of the trilogy and the triumph of its heroine, the escape of a director and his actress“.
In addition to releasing the feature film in theaters from July 31stwith which the distributor Condor has decided to organize special sessions X AND Pearl. Marathons which will therefore give the French public the opportunity to discover the second work of the trilogy on the big screen, since here it was unfortunately published directly on physical media.
Good news that should delight connoisseurs X and of Pearl. And hopefully this will shed some light on these films for the rest of the audience as well. Also, just a few days before the release of MaXXXineNetflix will add to its catalog Pearl. Again, a wider audience will have the opportunity to reach it.
