Wait. that dude who plays the bad guy in “Do not reply” is the one who played Jasper in Twilight right.
If this was MCU that would certainly be Stark Tower in construction.
Did anyone actually count all the cacti in the dream? I did, there were only 11 total. Not a dozen, and 11 bowed to one. Heh heh. Aaasssuuummmeee. This film has several elements that would have made a great 15-20 minute short film. But at feature length it is a long hard receptive slog. Little Joe Movie stream.

Little joe movie stream. This song never gets old... The Cannes Best Actress award for Emily Beecham was well deserved. The film discusses a genuine possibility as sci-fi in agriculture. A comparable film is Semih Kaplanoglu's "Grain." The soundtrack is awful, though. Good to see Ben Whishaw almost reprising his performance in "Perfume...

Chowwwwww. J essica Hausners Little Joe is one of the most keenly anticipated movies here in Cannes. This brilliant director from Austria has a fascinating body of work ? her Lourdes (2009) a mysterious, challenging film about miracles, has a claim to the status of modern classic. But I was disappointed by this new film, her first in English. Its a quasi sci-fi chiller about peoples behaviour and language being creepily altered; perhaps its numb weirdness is down to a director with no instinctive feeling for the English language. But its a fascinating looking film, shot in a cold, clear, crisply refrigerated style that provides an exhilaration of its own. Emily Beecham (from the recent British indie film Daphne) stars as Alice, a workaholic scientist who is developing a top-secret strain of genetically engineered plant whose microbial scent will make people happy. She is divorced and has a school-age son called Joe (Kit Connor. Among her colleagues is Chris (Ben Whishaw) who may well be in love with her, and Bella (Kerry Fox) an older scientist who has just recovered from a breakdown and is permitted to bring her dog to work, wittily named Bello. Soon Alice starts breaking the procedural rules about what she is allowed to do to accelerate the plants development. She even brings one home and names it “Little Joe”, a plant with fine, spiky red fronds that stir like the jaws of a venus fly trap. And yes, it starts having an effect on people. But what sort of effect? Wyndhamesque weirdness … Little Joe. Photograph: PR At first glance, this looks like a scary movie in a Wyndhamesque vein like The Day of the Triffids, or The Midwich Cuckoos (filmed as Village of the Damned. And the buildup is great: there are magnificent shots of football field-sized arrays of plants, all minutely shifting and stirring in the eerily controlled hi-tech greenhouse, like something in a documentary by Nikolaus Geyrhalter, who is a master of this sort of alienated-nature tableau. The scientists themselves, affectless and introverted in their white coats, add to the strangeness. What is going to happen? What skin-crawling developments are going to creep up on us? What denouement is going to scare us senseless? That remains an open question. It feels as if this movie is too grandly high on the arthouse register to bother with out-and-out thrills or suspense. And there are plot implausibilities that a humble genre movie might have ironed out at the script stage: would a high-level scientific research facility allow dogs in? And is it really possible to break in with just a stolen ID? The awful truth is that the plants dont seem to be changing peoples behaviour in any obviously entertaining or scary way ? or even in a clever one. The point seems to be that the affected people are perceived bizarrely to be impersonating themselves, or that they will release urges that have been suppressed, such as Alices guilty desire to free herself of the bonds of parenthood. But none of this is represented in any compelling dramatic style, and the actors ? all very talented and assured ? have perhaps not had clear enough direction. It is a mood piece. Whose mood leads nowhere. ? Little Joe screened at the Cannes film festival.

It was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival. At Cannes, Emily Beecham won the award for Best Actress. [3] 4] Beecham stars as Alice Woodard, a plant breeder and single mother who creates "Little Joe" a plant that gives its caretakers joy. Plot [ edit] Alice Woodard ( Emily Beecham) is a plant breeder who works in a lab that focuses on creating new strains of flowers. While her colleague Bella ( Kerry Fox) is failing at creating a hardy plant that will survive even weeks of undernourishment and neglect, Alice and her team have successfully created a flower that requires more care than an ordinary plant but which makes their owners happy. Alice decides to name the plants "Little Joe" in honour of her son and smuggles out one of the plants for him. The Little Joes begin to aggressively pollinate which Alice theorizes is because she has made them sterile. The same day Bella's dog, Bello, goes missing. Chris ( Ben Whishaw) goes looking for him and accidentally inhales some of the pollen. Later on he takes Alice out and despite her obvious reluctance attempts to kiss her twice. The following day Bella finds Bello in the lab. He attacks her and she insists that he has changed. Chris later tells Alice that Bella is mentally ill and had previously attempted suicide before being forced on a year long sabbatical, returning only shortly before Alice began working at the lab. Alice later learns that Bella had Bello put down. Bella tells Alice that the changes to Bello were due to the plant. Alice's son is accidentally pollinated by the plant and begins to act strangely, sneaking his classmate Selma, into the lab and stealing a Little Joe. He later tells Alice that he is considering moving in with his father, Ivan. Bothered by her son's behaviour Alice begins to examine test footage of subjects who have been exposed to the pollen. In every case their family members report that they are acting strangely and have seemed to change since the pollen test. However just as Alice begins to believe Bella's suspicions, Bella is exposed to the pollen herself and dismisses her previous beliefs as paranoia due to her mental issues. Joe reveals that he and Selma stole the plant in order to pollinate Ivan confirming Alice's suspicions her plant carries a virus, especially as she has used unorthodox methods to create Little Joe. However this turns out to be a joke as Chris previously talked to Joe about Alice's concerns. At work Bella reveals that she never inhaled the pollen and was only pretending to be happy in order to blend in with the others; she later tries to commit suicide. After Alice's boss dismisses her concerns she takes matters into her own hands and decides to kill the Little Joes before they are commercialized, lowering the temperature in the lab. She is stopped by Chris who, in trying to prevent her from harming the plant knocks her out on the floor of the lab, exposing her to the plant pollen. Later Alice learns that Little Joe has been nominated for an award meaning that the plant will be sold worldwide. When Chris apologizes for hitting her she kisses him, and later dismisses her concerns as paranoia. She allows Joe to move in with his father and starts a new, happier life with her own Little Joe.

The idea behind Little Joe is brilliant. The actors were excellent. I've found it a bit too long and redundant, but I had a good time watching this surprising and beautiful movie. Like Bro. But big boy is little bit more loud and little joe is very nice 100g. 4:15 : Que yo de borracio vida... LOL! What a drunkard´s life. This is a brilliant movie trailer. It left me intrigued and curious what is happening in the movie. Unlike any other trailer that shows everything. Seems like a good one. I'd watch this.

Christy Lemire December 6, 2019 “Little Joe” is a cautionary tale about a mother whos too busy with work to notice that her teenage son has been infected by the pollen from an evil plant?a plant she designed, named after him and brought home as a gift. Actually, that description makes the movie sound far more bizarre and compelling than it is. Austrian director and co-writer Jessica Hausner has taken an austere approach to her sci-fi horror film, both visually and tonally, which is an intriguing choice in contrast with its wild central idea. But it ultimately results in a cold, unsatisfying experience, and a yearning for Hausner and co-writer Geraldine Bajard to have said something as bold as the films color palette. Advertisement The antiseptic aesthetic of a behemoth British biotech lab gets awakened by bursts of color: the dark green of the cafeteria chairs, the light blue of the locker room and, increasingly, the menacing haze of the hot-pink glow from grow lights that hover over rows upon rows of designer plants. The plants themselves?which lead scientist Alice (a chilling Emily Beecham) affectionately names Little Joe after her own human boy ( Kit Connor)?are an explosion of crimson, with soft tendrils that seem to dance as their buds open. Its as if theyre shyly saying hello?or subtly trying to enslave you. In theory, Alice and her team intend for these to be “mood-lifting, anti-depressant happy plants. ” And maybe theres some sort of message here about the dangers of seeking shortcuts to wellbeing, rather than actually doing the work. Alice, an emotionally detached single mom, is herself in therapy as we see from a few of her sessions. Working with cinematographer Martin Gschlacht, Hausner slowly and hypnotically moves the camera back and forth during long takes between Alice and her therapist ( Lindsay Duncan. The conversation, however, seems to go nowhere?although maybe thats also the point. Whats happening right under Alices nose (if youll pardon the pun) is that the plant shes developed emits a pollen that initially elicits a sneeze, followed by total devotion. The people inhaling it dont behave all that differently?but they also dont seem overwhelmingly happy, either. Rather, they seem weirdly flat, like placid zombies?an indictment, perhaps, of a reliance on pharmaceuticals to even out emotional highs and lows. Theres an eeriness at first to the human interactions that result from exposure to Little Joe?an awkwardness in the inability to connect comfortably. This is especially evident when Alices colleague Chris ( Ben Whishaw, playing against nice-guy type) tries to woo her, first with nervous invitations to after-work drinks, then with tentative attempts at kisses. The plants effects on another scientists emotional support dog?normally a sweet-tempered, playful creature?also create an underlying tension. But then the Japanese-inspired score?heavy on strings and drums, mixed with the surreal sound of dogs barking?provides an even more obvious jolt. Its another bold stylistic choice, one thats initially startling but eventually overbearing. A subplot involving the human Joe and his first girlfriend, a confident young lady named Selma ( Jessie Mae Alonzo) suggests the films true source of anxiety. Alices little boy is growing up and becoming his own person, one she doesnt recognize anymore with a life and interests outside her own. Its a sad realization for any mom. Then again, she might just be paranoid, and Hausner seems content to allow us to interpret the films meaning in a multitude of ways. “Little Joe” never ventures anywhere near full-on terror mode; its more like a dryly British “ Little Shop of Horrors. ” And frustratingly, the film never fulfills the promise of its stylish weirdness. Instead, it steadily builds to nowhere, resulting in a collective shrug?and maybe another sneeze. Reveal Comments comments powered by.

Vedle "Vivarium" další film v programu Cannes, kterému by vice slušelo být epizodou z Twilight Zone, jen tentokrát je to oproti marnému "Vivarium" lépe rozvinuté a zrežírované, i když neméně předvídatelné. Když vezmeme jako měřítko Jordana Peela, tak se Litte Joe na jeho věci, včetně "My" vůbec nehrabe. Hausner se prostě jen vydala cestou kariéry a točí námezdný projekt, který vyznívá jako usedlejší variace na "Invaze lupičů těl. jen s tím, že strachu z komunismu první verze Lupičů z roku 1956 a psycho paranoia verze z 1978 jsou tentokrát nahrazeny za nosné téma ryze egocentrického štěstí. Nicméně jakékoli přesahy a myšlenky tohoto tématu vycházejí mimo film samotný, zatímco ve vyprávění nejsou rozváděné.

Damn. So many memories growing up in Somerton AZ. Family barbecues. Great Times. Reminds me of when my dad found my best dog. RIP Rhett Butler 2000-2018. Movies, ‘Little Joe Review: This Flower Can Dispense Joy, but It Has Demands Jessica Hausners new sci-fi film about a flower engineered to release a potent antidepressant evokes “Invasion of the Body Snatchers. ” Credit. Magnolia Pictures In a spotless laboratory-cum-greenhouse, dozens of blazing red plants thrive under the attentive eyes of a few folks in pale blue coats. The plants are flowers, but they dont have petals; from their stems bloom long, undulating, spear-like tendrils. The flowers developer, Alice, explains to her colleagues at Plantworks ? a company preparing new product s for an upcoming market fair ? that this special plant needs special care. One must not just water it, but talk to it. In return, its pollen will release a potent antidepressant. The flower will literally make you happy. Alice, played with vivid restraint by Emily Beecham (her performance earned her the best actress award at Cannes this year) brings a flower to her son, Joe (Kit Connor) after whom shes named the plant. In a purple-lit room in their home, they look at Little Joe with awe. But Alice doesnt quite know how to deal with her son when the plants happiness-dispensing starts to change him. Directed by the Austrian filmmaker Jessica Hausner with a detachment more professorial than wry, “Little Joe” manages to exert a peculiar pull in spite of being constructed with material youve likely seen elsewhere. Theres the strange stuff that happens at Plantworks, for instance, like the friendly dog who inadvertently spends the night in the flower lab and emerges unfriendly. Around that time, Alices colleague, Chris ( Ben Whishaw) expresses romantic feelings for Alice, but then becomes more concerned with the well-being of Little Joe. Later, Alice faces accusations of ignoring virus protocols in developing the plant, but before she can even get defensive about it, the issue is shrugged off. Hmm. The movies story line, concocted by Hausner and Géraldine Bajard, recalls that of the much-remade classic “Invasion of the Body Snatchers, ” in which emotional humans are replaced by unfeeling drones hatched from pods. The droll joke of “Little Joe” is that it frequently looks and feel like a “Snatchers” reboot as directed by a pod person. The tone is locked in with Alices own coolness. Hausner frequently frames shots with Kubrick-evoking one-point perspective. She uses lenses that make the distances between two people sitting in an ordinary-size room look enormous. The deliberateness of the styling makes the storys predictability feel more like inexorability. The events may be familiar, but their stagings are unusual and often uncanny. The novelist Vladimir Nabokov once mocked professors, and, by extension, other critical types, who approached art works with the question: “What is the guy trying to say? ” “Little Joe” frequently invites the question for the deliberate purpose of resisting any answers. Is the movie a satire on Western societys arguable overreliance on psychotropic drugs? Maybe. But the film also suggests a potentially metaphysical dimension. “Who can prove the genuineness of our feelings? Moreover, who cares? ” one character asks when disputing the idea that Little Joes control over its owners is something to be frightened of. When such concerns of authenticity are put aside, what is our ideation of humanity left with? Thats a scary thought. Little Joe Not rated. Running time: 1 hour 45 minutes.

Die sind echt krass. “Fear can affect our perception of reality, ” says an inquisitive shrink about halfway through “Little Joe, ” Jessica Hausners highbrow horticulture horror flick (say that three times fast) that premiered at the Cannes Film Festival back in May, with lead Emily Beecham winning the festivals Best Actress award. And if that observation might be the case for the beleaguered mother at the center of this sci-fi head-trip, it is entirely the other way around when describing Hausners intentions. With her English language debut, the Austrian filmmaker has channeled her perceptions of fear, taking a common reality ? that which parents face when their kids reach adolescence ? and refracting the myriad anxieties and uncertainties of that stage of life as a gonzo genre freak-out. Repurposing parental anxieties into psychological horror, “Little Joe” offers kind of thematic follow-up to David Lynchs “Eraserhead” ? only now the terror doesnt come from an alien figure that requires constant care and attention, but one that has accepted that attention and is ready to move on. Beecham plays Alice, a professional flower-breeder and mother to Joe (Kit Connor. With her colleague Chris (Ben Whishaw) Alice has just bred her most promising genetic modification yet, and in honor of her son, she calls it Little Joe. Resembling something like a giant bulb of saffron as designed by Dr. Seuss, the Little Joe plant feeds on love and care and provides happiness in turn, as it was bred to emit the same hormone that bonds new mothers with their children. As is often the case in such narratives, the creation takes on life of its own when it senses danger to itself. You see, Alice has bred the flower to be sterile, so Little Joe must do what it can to guarantee its future existence ? because, as someone else in the film says, “the ability to reproduce gives every living being meaning. ” The flower does so by a kind of mind control, producing pollen that increases the happiness of all who smell it, while making them fiercely loyal to it above all else. It creates a kind of “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” dynamic. Alice resists, but others in her orbit fall under the flowers sway, with her son becoming one of its most prominent adherents. Hausner doesnt go for scares, opting to mount this psychological horror film as procession of colors that grow more vivid as the flowers grow in influence. Shot with crystalline digital photography, the images have a hypnotic pull, with the flat clinical light of an industrial nursery gradually growing to almost violent levels of contrast. The director has plenty of fun with the films costumes and design, dressing the characters in dollhouse pastels and giving Beecham a veritable helmet of auburn hair. If the film can be somewhat unsubtle in its thematic questions, it matches that with an equally loud color palette ? and you know what, thats perfectly fine. What more can you ask from a film about a mind-controlling flower.
