Her Smell, Alex Ross Perry (USA, 2018)
Becky is the singer of a successful female punk group in the 1990s. While dealing with various addictions and inner demons, she tries to recover the inspiration that consecrated them. The rest of the members and people around her will witness her descent and return from hell.
Elisabeth Moss, Alex Ross Perry’s recurring collaborator, gives her best performance, giving life to a singer in which echoes of Courtney Love, Kurt Cobain and, in the filmmaker’s words, Axl Rose resound. Without leaving his disenchanted aura, Ross Perry brings the camera closer to the faces of his characters to take us into a volatile, frenetic and crazy world where everything happens at a speed that is impossible to follow without alcohol and drugs.
Film will be screened in original version with subtitles in Spanish.
