New feature film by Amanda Kramer,Please Baby PleasecalledBlue VelvetandWest Side Storyto get rid of sexual chaos the ordinary daily of a couple harassed by a bunch of lobbies.
Deep red
In a thrilling night of deep red neon, a couple (Andrea Riseborough & Harry Melling) became the witness of the barbaries of a gang on a sordid street in Manhattan. Led by Teddy (Karl Glusman), this gang of criminals will soon have harassed these poor lovers without history. And from this tension will be born the exacerbation of a sexuality too long repressed by the conventions of their small well-ordered life. Sexual chaos, queer rereading in musical and neon orgy, this is what we proposePlease Baby Please, the new movie ofAmanda Kramerpowered directly on Mubi.
Exhausting references rereaded in a queer vision,Please Baby Please###############################################################################Blue VelvetandWest Side Story, lorges on the side ofNicolas Winding Refn (neon force) orKubrickWith his thugs. Yet,Please Baby Pleasewill really find it difficult to detach from his obvious inspirations to create his own identity and prefer to lock himself in studio settings (veryfiftiesOf course) rather than exploiting the dark streets of Manhattan. The film quickly loses in madness and magnitude, and that's a shame.
Wicked film
Another lock-up: dialogues.Please Baby PleaseIndeed, will simmer into real tunnels of verbal jousts. Unfortunately, these interactions, served by actors who are constantly overjoyed, are resolutely too didactic. The director certainly tries to explain the deconstruction of this couple's sexual norms, but she does it by too many words rather than with her camera, and it definitely weighs on the rhythm of the film.
Please Baby Pleaseis an attempt to renew unfortunately filled with too many grievances so that it can remain in memory. The presence of Karl Glusman –Love, The Neon DemonandNight Animalsin particular – and that ofHalf Moorewho, in the absence of catching up with an excess of malfeasance, at least render the viewing ofPlease Baby Pleasefair.
