Why we chose it

A delirious, '80s-inflected, exploitation romance drama, Rose Glass' ("Saint Maud") second feature ("Saint Maud") is both dreamy and nightmarish, talking about love, revenge, bodies, violence and lust. Kristen Stewart and (apocalyptic) Katie O'Brien are given their all in the film - soul and body.

Synopsis

Jackie is determined to make it as a bodybuilder and heads to Las Vegas to enter a competition. On her way, she passes through a small town in New Mexico where she meets Lou, the reclusive and low-key manager of the local gym. Lou's father is an arms dealer and holds the reins of a criminal syndicate. Jackie and Lou fall in love. But their relationship triggers a series of violent chain reactions.
