Last week at @fantasiafestival.com, I got to dig deep into the thematic core of his latest work with auteur Nicolas Winding Refn. He was incredibly thoughtful and candid about fatherhood, the personal experiences that shaped the film, and what drove him to make #HerPrivateHell.
Cinapse@cinapse.bsky.social · 2w agoThis is the kind of short that easily could be a compelling feature. @fantasiafestival.com
Cinapse@cinapse.bsky.social · 2w agoHow do you follow up BLADES OF THE GUARDIANS with a rep screening of the anime facemelter REDLINE hosted by the co-writer Yoshiki Sakurai @fantasiafestival.com
BLADES OF THE GUARDIANS poses the age old question what if they combined MAD MAX FURY ROAD and LONE WOLF AND CUB but make it wushu. Badass as hell and so much fun.
Dan Tabor@dantabor.bsky.social · 2w ago#NowSeated for BLADES OF THE GUARDIANS @fantasiafestival.com
I am still smiling thinking about #BreakFree. A struggling Yakuza clan, a DoorDash-driving enforcer, viral dance videos, romance, and some seriously wild action? This is why I come to festivals like @fantasiafestival.com #Fantasia2026 #BreakFree
Cinapse@cinapse.bsky.social · 2w agoSome movies just hit you exactly where you are in life. #CherryAndVirgin absolutely gutted me. Hilarious, heartbreaking, visually ingenious, and one of the most emotionally honest anime I've seen in years. It made me laugh, and it made me cry. @fantasiafestival.com
Cinapse@cinapse.bsky.social · 2w agoMy biggest surprise of the fest so far has to be BREAK FREE. It’s like SHALL WE DANCE, but with TikTok and the Yakuza. When the Mikami clan is down on its luck, a gruff enforcer — is forced to turn influencer to save the clan. Hilarious and charming as hell! @fantasiafestival.com
Dating sucks and it’s near impossible for two over 30 virgins, who happen to be manga artists. CHERRY AND VIRGIN is a hyper stylized dramedy, that masterfully manages to capture the good and the bad and how everyone has a different perspective. @fantasiafestival.com
Miss the MASTERCLASS with NICOLAS WINDING REFN yesterday @fantasiafestival.com? Don’t worry I got you covered.
Cinapse@cinapse.bsky.social · 3w agoI caught TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA at @fantasiafestival.com and it definitely exceeded the hype.
Cinapse@cinapse.bsky.social · 3w agoLast night @fantasiafestival.com turned a documentary screening into a celebration of all things #Ultraman and luckily I was there to capture the highlights.
Cinapse@cinapse.bsky.social · 3w agoNext up: THE ORIGIN OF ULTRAMAN. I love that Fantasia puts up physical posters at venues.
Starting off Fantasia strong was the latest by one of my favorite directors Nicolas Winding Refn and it didn’t disappoint. #fantasia #herprivatehell
Cinapse@cinapse.bsky.social · 3w agoInterview coming soon, got to dig pretty deep into HER PRIVATE HELL with its director Nicolas Winding Refn thanks to the Fantasia Film festival. #fantasia2026 #herprivatehell #NicolasWindingRefn

A double bill on my flight of CHRONOLOGY OF WATER and SORRY BABY probably not the best choice.
Alex still needs our help. I know it's difficult times for all, but if you're able do consider helping. Alex has made,and continues to make, an enormous difference in film culture not only as one of the best in her field, but in creating opportunities for others as well.
Alexandra Heller-Nicholas@horrornonna.com · 4mo agoI am loath to do this, but I need your help. My 20+ year marriage has unexpectedly imploded. There's a kid involved. Aside from Lupus, Autism and a shitty 2009 Mazda, I have nothing. Things are fairly desperate right now, so if you can help out now in any way at all I'd be really grateful ❤️

[Review] THE PHANTOM on 4K UHD: The Ghost Who Walked So Iron Man Could Fly - Cinapse
The film hits 4K UHD this week thanks to the fine folks at Kino Lorber! As an admitted Zaniac, I’ll take any excuse to evangelize on behalf of Billy Zane.
