The wild ambition on display here is more than enough to overpower its structural an... read more

Description: This genre-defying horror-musical mash-up—the bold debut of Polish director Agnieszka Smoczyńska—follows a pair of carnivorous mermaid sisters drawn ashore to explore life on land in an alternate 1980s Poland. Their tantalizing siren songs and otherworldly auras make them overnight sensations as nightclub singers in the half-glam, half-decrepit world of Smoczyńska’s imagining. The director gives fierce teeth to her viscerally sensual, darkly feminist twist on Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Little Mermaid,” in which the girls’ bond is tested and their survival threatened after one sister falls for a human.

"First viewing - June 23rd I stopped into the library to pick up some older films because there's far too many recent ones on this list, but when I spotted The Lure I had to pick it up too. I've seen quite a bit of praise for it, so I was hoping I could back that up & maybe have a new, under-the-radar favorite. Well, not so much.
