Unfaithful with Adrian Lyne

Two illusionists compete at the turn of the 20th century to create history’s greatest magic trick in this time-fracturing thriller from director/co-writer Christopher Nolan. Based on the 1995 novel by Christopher Priest, the film earned Oscar nominations for its cinematography (Wally Pfister) and art direction (Nathan Crowley, Julie Ochipinti), which cleverly used surviving Los Angeles picture palaces as key locations. The stellar cast includes Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale as the rivals, Michael Caine as their mentor, Scarlett Johansson and Rebecca Hall as the women in their lives, and a memorable cameo from David Bowie as the inventor Nikola Tesla.

Rinko Tatsumi (Asuka Kurosawa) is a suicide hotline worker resigned to a life of unhappiness until she receives a package from a blackmailer. Through the increasingly vulgar acts of exhibitionism her blackmailer forces upon her, she learns to shed the social restrictions and repression dominating her life. Shot on black-and-white film and tinted a monochromatic blue, Shinya Tsukamoto’s A Snake of June is a visual feast. Filled with shaky, hand-held camerawork, voyeuristic close-ups, and near-constant rain, Tsukamoto creates a damp and cold erotic thriller that explores sexual dynamics, transformation, and releasing one's inner desires.
