Apparently, Roman Polanski can’t get enough of the theatre. Following Carnage just two years ago, the director has adapted yet another stage play to the silver screen. While it’s fairly obvious where the plot of Venus in Fur is headed…
Hello Hope you are well. I’ve been thinking. After the screening for Earth to Echo it smacked me in the face that lately even the “original” movies have a tendency to regurgitate ideas almost as bad as the standard sequel…
