the two mermaids: hissing and singing and chewing on human body parts
me with my camera out: you're doing amazing sweeties

a gorgeously shot Polish goth musical about homicidal teen mermaids hired to sing at a nightclub. obviously essential.

fun fact: i watched this on ambien and spent most of the following day thinking that it was a dream i had. only after someone mentioned that they were going to a press screening of "the mermaid movie" did it click for me like at the end of The Usual Suspects. (i watched it again)

........ this mermaid really went through all That just so she could bang a knock off evan peters huh ............ 

ok wait i was about to post this but then i remembered that 3 years ago i made out with a dude at a party just because he looked like a knock off evan peters in the dark so i really can’t judge 😩

Imagine if Gaspar Noé and (the late) Andrzej Zulawski collaborated on a remake of “The Little Mermaid” and you’ll have a faint idea of what to expect from Agnieszka Smoczynska’s “The Lure,” a wonderfully demented new musical that bridges the gap between Hans Christian Andersen and Nine Inch Nails.

The fun begins in Communist-era Poland, where a mopey young musician named Mietek (Jakub Gierszal) stands by the waters of Warsaw and strums a folksy lament. If Mietek doesn’t seem all that surprised when two comely sea sirens pop their heads out of the surf and sing a reply (promising not to eat him, natch), perhaps that’s because he’s a little tipsy — given the strange energy that pumps through Smoczynska’s film from start to finish, it won’t be long before you know just how he feels.

Why couldn't she be the other kind of mermaid, with the fish part on the top and the lady part on the bottom?

uh I didn't know I loved mermaids musical this much until now

i screamed at least 17 times during this film.... wig... then i cried

This Polish musical about man-eating mermaids approaches the pain, blood, and lust of feminine sexuality in a tactile way similar to Julia Ducournau's Raw. Agnieszka Smoczynska's approach is looser and more disjointed, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't more fun.

Kebanyakan nyanyi, sisiknya serem

The Lure is...I'm not even sure how to describe it. A fantasy horror musical drama? This film touched on various genres without skipping a beat and actually transitioned through them pretty seamlessly. This was weird and out there...but I kind of dug it. It's no The Shape of Water but I was entertained enough.

Finally the mermaid storyline we want! Golden and Silver's innocence is ruined by man, go figure. Went into this movie with no idea is was basically a musical. Surprised but intriguing approach.

that was.. a movie

Could be something got lost in translation but the songs all seemed like pointless nonsense to me and maybe this didn't need to be a musical?

a fire banger that slaps full of fire bangers that slap and I would love to set Michalina Olszańska on fire, bang her, and slap her
