"Pearl" is the prequel to last year's "X", but the film was actually concieved during a mandatory two-week quarantine before shooting "X" in New Zealand in which actress Mai Goth and director Ti West came up with the backstory for the title character during video calls. The film play homage to classic 1930/40s cinema in many ways - but certainly not with the murders, and also not with the vibrant "technicolor look" which we commonly associate with the 1950/60s. Here is the trailer:
This is of course an acting dream for Mia Goth, who is pretty much in every shot (as the film is told from her character's point of view); the rest of the cast mainly consists of talent from New Zealand (for example Tandi Wright, who was the intimacy coordinator on "X" before moving on the playing Pearl's mother Ruth), though the projectionist was played by american actor David Corenswet. But how did you like the film? Please let us know in a reply to this posting.
