Never mind that movie about the Tories' iron bitch... this is the true story of Suu Kyi, daughter of Burmese revolutionary leader Aung San, whose
postwar assassination is depicted in the movie's prologue. After exorcising fantasy and comedy from his roster of projects in development, Luc Besson
unexpectedly follows his highly entertaining The Extraordinary Adventures Of Adèle Blanc-Sec (2010), with The Lady, turning
away from genre cinema in favour of a standard biopic.
Satan (aka: Sheitan) is the first full-length feature from the collective Kourtramje who, until now, have released shorts and music
videos chiefly distributed on the net. It's a debut too for director Kim Chapiron, and was sponsored by its producer and star Vincent Cassel, one
of the most interesting French stars of his generation. In fact, it's fair to say that Cassel's presence dominates the film as much as his input did
behind the scenes, as his portrayal of manically grinning, demonically inspired farmer Joseph provide by far the most memorable moments in a film
which veers, with varying degrees of success, between humour, social comment and horror.
The thing is this... He burns rubber up the north circular, revving his powerful Triumph, pursuing the illusory phantom of freedom through a dead-end
b&w world at ton-up speeds. She goes to the local fleapit to see nudie-flick 'Return To Nature', "hundreds of bodies running around naked"
on an island. It's another form of escape. Before the Beatles, before mod, before England started swinging, The Leather Boys was edgily teasing
audiences by screening discontented Reg torn between his teenage wife Dot, and the rival attractions of the rocker lifestyle and his gay biker mate
Pete.
