| Natalie Portman in Vox Lux |
This Fall seems to be the perfect time for movies featuring complicated female performers. With A Star is Born dominating the box office and almost assuring Lady Gaga some Oscar glory, it's interesting to note that it's not the only film about singers coming out in the next few months. There is of course the indie film Her Smell, which takes on a more grotesque and disturbing take. Then there's director Brady Corbet's Vox Lux, which finds Oscar winner Natalie Portman returning to the race with a film that's been getting press for its intense portrayal of a celebrity going through a crisis. With the first trailer now upon us, the look into Portman's performance is here and it's a surreal, damaged image that is magnetic. Basically, it's the dark horse that this season could use.
