The Cineskinny The Skinny

Reviews of Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers starring Zendaya, Sean Price Williams’ The Sweet East with Talia Ryder and Jacob Elordi, and more...

This week we dive into the hallucinogenic world of Disco Boy, which stars European arthouse cinema's current It boy Franz Rogowski as an undocumented Belarusian immigrant who joins the French Foreign Legion.
We also take a look at Evil Does Not Exist, the latest from Ryusuke Hamaguchi. This Japanese filmmaker has amassed a cult following but he's still to convince some of our hosts on the pod. Will Evil Does Not Exist change their minds?
And with Lynne Ramsay's Ratcatcher getting a 25th-anniversary rerelease this month, we look back at the four feature films to date from this visionary Scottish filmmaker.
