Echo Chamber - 131
On this week’s @EchoChamberFP we bring you Spanish romance, a music documentary, and a shuddering indie horror. As well as news on this year's BFIFlare Festival.
Dani de la Orden directs 'Crazy About Her' (Loco Por Ella). Which tells the story of how Adri (Álvaro Cervantes) and Carla (Susana Abaitua) meet one night at a bar and have an incredible time together. It was only meant to be one night, but Adri can't stop thinking about Carla, so tracks her down. Problem is, she's a patient at a residential hospital, and the only way he can see her is if he becomes a patient too!
Some hail Christopher Wallace (aka The Notorious B.I.G., aka BIG Poppa, aka Biggie) the King of New York, the greatest rapper alive, whether you believe this or not, he blazed a path for defining moment in time. But what lead him to the rap game, how did he develop, who did he hold dear? 'Biggie: I Got a Story to Tell' attempts to pull back the curtain and give us a glimpse into the early years of a young Wallace through rare behind-the-scenes footage and the testimonies of his closest friends and family.
'Lucky' is the new film from Natasha Kermani (director) and Brea Grant (writer & star) on Shudder TODAY! They have created an interesting, unique tale of a woman who finds herself stalked, threatened, and attacked on a nightly basis by a mysterious 'faceless man'. Everyone around her seems to think this is a normal thing, which forces her to take matters into her own hands, as well as open up to people offering help!
