The last day of the festival continues with a visual and musical performance. Exploring the spectacle of the modern world, director Brady Corbet tells the fascinating story of an ordinary teenager\u2019s rise to pop-dom following a terrorist shooting at her school, which leaves her critically injured. Guided by her well-intentioned manager (Jude Law), Celeste becomes a symbol of celebrity cult and of the power of mass media, in a film about the forces that mold us as individuals, as nations, as deities; impregnated by a score comprising of original pieces by Sia and original songs written by Scott Walker. For Scott Walker, one of the most innovative and legendary composers of the 21st\u00a0century,\u00a0Vox Lux<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0marked the second collaboration with Brady Corbet, and signaled the last score Walker composed before his death.<\/p>\n

At Cinema Pro, The Mountain<\/em><\/strong>, by Rick Alverson, and starring Jeff Goldblum si Tye Sheridan, will begin at 5:00pm. Mandy<\/em><\/strong>, by Panos Cosmatos and starring Nicolas Cage and Andrea Riseborough will follow.<\/p>\n

The Mountain<\/em><\/strong>, based in the 50s, tells of Andy, a solitary teenager, who, following his father\u2019s (Udo Kier) death, gets a job making photographs with Wallace Fiennes (Jeff Goldblum), a doctor specialized in lobotomy. Enacted by Tye Sheridan in a style reminiscent to Tom Hardy and Barry Keoghan, Andy discovers the U.S. of the 50s through the lens of his boss\u2019 patients. Alverson\u2019s excentric script boils until the revelatory climax of its title, in tune with its characters\u2019 deepening into a Lynchian and Hopperesque visual plane.<\/p>\n

J\u00f3hann J\u00f3hannsson composed, together with guitar player Stephen O\u2019Malley from \u201cSunn o)))\u201d, the score of\u00a0Mandy<\/em><\/strong>, directed by Panos Cosmatos. J\u00f3hannsson\u2019s music and Nicolas Cage\u2019s character are considered by Indiewire as being \u201cat the center of a hypnotic cinematic experience that\u2019s equal parts deranged revenge story and abstract study of grief.\u201d Mandy<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0tells of Red Miller, who lives isolated in the wild with his wife Mandy until cult leader Jeremiah Sand (Linus Roach) ruins his life. His revenge story is built via the\u00a0\u201cblack metal, menacing ambient, doom drone, and piercing orchestrations in the mode of Italian experimental composer Giacinto Scelsi,\u201d according to Pitchfork.<\/p>\n

Preceding the closing screening, Diane<\/em>, <\/strong>the debut feature from Kent Jones, who was last year\u2019s special guest at the festival, will play at the Cinema Muzeul \u021a\u0103ranului at 6:00 pm.<\/p>\n
