Monday, 18 January 2021

AFTERTASTE, dir. Chloe Wicks
Assassinations, family feuds, vampiric seductions and tough crooks are the order of the day in this selection of noir-tinged genre pieces.
Anchored by heavyweight performances from the likes of Jessica Brown-Findlay (Harlots), Joe Dempsie (Game of Thrones) and Louise Brealey (Sherlock), these shorts prove themselves a masterclass in plot twist - with flashes of violence, unexpected turns and some questionable characters on questionable missions.
Programmed by Philip Ilson. 71'

After being disturbed by a phone-call from a man from her past, an actress is provoked to act irrationally. To make matters more complex, the play that she stars in is also about a tumultuous relationship between a man and a woman. Here, the lines between art and reality are mesmerisingly blurred.
