Pacific Northwest. 1983 AD. Outsiders Red Miller and Mandy Bloom lead a loving and peaceful existence. When their pine-scented haven is savagely destroyed by a cult led by the sadistic Jeremiah Sand, Red is catapulted into a phantasmagoric journey filled with bloody vengeance and laced with fire.
Director: Panos Cosmatos
Starring: Nicolas Cage, Andrea Riseborough, Linus Roache
121 minutes.
"This extraordinary film exists entirely and absolutely in a universe in the same way that only certain discombobulating sui generis films can: Q the Winged Serpent, Martyrs or Beyond the Black Rainbow, also by Cosmatos, a cult favourite that deserves a wider audience.
There is nothing that isn’t brilliant, immaculately judged, and unhinged about Mandy. It opens with a spectacular 1980s font that reads Shadow Mountains 1983 AD. It feels the need to tell you AD – and to splice in some Ronald Reagan denouncing abortion on the radio, because where we are going is so far off grid, you need to cling to that detail like an unshared door in James Cameron’s Titanic."
