"General Solo, is your strike team assembled?" Time for a super fun blast from the past! Take a trip back into Coralie Fargeat's childhood. In honor of the Academy Award nominations for French director Coralie Fargeat's body horror film The Substance, Letterboxd has posted her very first film online. Fargeat dug up an old VHS tape from the 1990s that features her own homemade Star Wars movie - they scanned it and digitized it and now we can all enjoy it. Fargeat is nominated for Best Director at the Oscars this year, and The Substance has a total of five nominations. It's her second feature film after making Revenge (2017) previously. This homemade Star Wars (titled La Guerre des étoiles in French) is kind of a remix of all of the three original movies, and features miniatures / action figures, some footage borrowed from the movies, and some of her own footage shot with her friends in the woods. This clunky no-budget VHS filmmaking is so much fun to see! Those Stormtroopers are hilarious. Click on [cc] for English subtitles in the video below. // Continue Reading ›
