Yeah I'm keen on this. Back into The Guest territory but going harder.

Eli Roth's Ice Cream Man

I wonder if that is inspired by the 1995 Clint Howard film.

William and David Greaves' Once Upon a Time in Harlem.

I Want Your Sex: This is mid-tier Araki in a light, playful mood, and it's often funny with his-brand-of warm (which often feels cold!) The satirical gags about the art world are better than I Love Boosters (though Riley admitted in the Q&A that he didn't really care about a commentary on fashion or art itself, as much as serving a communist manifesto), but the real comedy and engagement with the audience comes from its central conceit about the allure of various relationship dynamics that achieve a unique type of intimacy, and how messy that becomes with competing wills at play. Wilde is boldly wild, and Cooper Hoffman proves once again that he can carry a romantic comedy as the lead. Charli xcx is unrecognizable purely because of the desexualized role she plays, and she nails it.

Teaser ...and a whole day later, the Trailer.

Whalefall. Perhaps kinkier than the Araki.

I'm a fan of Brian Duffield's pre-pandemic pandemic teen tragicomic romance Spontaneous, and though he's not the writer here, the tagline -- "The odds of being swallowed alive by a whale are not zero." -- has me hoping for a similar mix of tones. And Elisabeth Shue is in this, somewhere.

I too am a big fan of Spontaneous (and was more lukewarm on No One Will Save You) but it looks like Duffield at least cowrote the screenplay with Daniel Kraus, whose novel this is based on,

Thanks for the clarification! Somehow looked right past his name, there.

No One Will Save You keeps getting pushed down my queue for one reason or another.
