Keanu Reeves with a harem of women in The Bad Batch (2016)
The Big Picture Ana Lily Amirpour is like an avant-garde chef, continuously experimenting with each creation by throwing so many disparate elements into one pot and seeing what goes together. Her debut film, A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night, was a vampire tale that combined Jean-Luc Godard coolness with Francis Ford Coppola formal control.
All in all, that's a pretty wacky combination. We've got cannibalism, a destroyed and rebuilt society, and cults. Did I forget to mention the amount of star power, which makes absolutely no sense? We've got Momoa in full shirtless warrior glory, we have Keanu channeling his inner guru in a way that recalls prior roles in films like Thumbsucker, and Jim Carrey wandering in and out of the film with nary any recognition or shred of why you'd typically cast him in the first place.
Related Keanu Reeves Joins Ruben Östlund's Next Film 'The Entertainment System is Down' The filmmaker behind 'Triangle of Sadness' is preparing his next story by casting the 'John Wick' star. 'The Bad Batch' Is Unconcerned With Expectations or Momentum It's more than plausible if I described for you the setting and subject of this film , you would picture a Mad Max story that George Miller had discarded as too depressing.
This isn't to say that the film has no sense of conventional narrative structure or tension. Arlen is still built up to be a protagonist to get behind, one just looking for security and willing to fight against those that threaten her. Time is taken to develop a connection between her and Honey, though it's one built less on understanding each other and more on the basic need to protect a child from the dangers of the world.
'The Bad Batch's Ana Lily Amirpour Is the Type of Filmmaker We Need More Of Close You can call Amirpour's filmmaking many things, but above all else, it's truly original. Too many filmmakers work too hard to make their films easily marketable, be it for audiences or for studio executives, where the obvious talent gets somewhat hampered by expectations.
