Courtesy of NEON By Morgan Rojas for www.cinemacy. com Bringing “Bad” back to the big screen for her highly anticipated sophomore film is Ana Lily Amirpour, the visionary who made black and white Vampire Spaghetti Westerns a thing. Amirpour trades the streets of Bad City for the barren desert of Texas in The Bad Batch, a meditative and highly audacious cannibal film that makes Burning Man look like your grandma’s tea party. For our exclusive interview with Amirpour and actress Suki Waterhouse, visit www.cinemacy.com. Our heroine is Arlen (Suki Waterhouse), a young woman who has been dumped in the desert after spending an undisclosed amount of time in a detention facility. Disoriented and penniless, her stamina is no match for unrelenting sun as she decides to let her guard down for a quick nap in a conveniently abandoned car. It’s not long until a group of ragtag cannibal misfits find Arlen and take her to their base camp. Arlen’s desperation to escape literally costs her an arm and a leg as she quickly learns that it’s every man--or in this case, woman--for herself in the Bad Batch. Elements of what made Amirpour’s first film, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, so successful are replicated here– strong female protagonist, gritty skate culture, a trendy soundtrack including songs from Die Antwoord and Culture Club, and all-around cool vibes. Perhaps too cool at times, but how can it not be coming from distributors like Vice, NEON and Annapurna Pictures? Arlen encounters many characters as she wanders through the barren landscape, including the big and burly Miami Man (Jason Momoa), his quiet yet independent daughter Honey (Jayda Fink) and The Dream (Keanu Reeves), the idolized patriarch of the desert camp called Comfort. The subsidiary cast of kooks like Hermit (Jim Carrey) and The Screamer (Giovanni Ribisi) are unexpected but welcome additions that further round out Arlen’s reality. Like an ultra-tough Dorothy Gale from The Wizard of Oz, Arlen just wants to go home and uses these characters she meets along the way to help her get there. The audience isn’t given the luxury of knowing Arlen’s backstory, or how she wound up in the Bad Batch in the first place, but character development clearly wasn’t the focus here. We are dropped into a dystopian desert without knowing how we got there or where we’re going, but we blindly buckle up for the ride. By default, we root for Arlen’s success because the odds are against her. Plus she is fighting to survive with a missing left arm and leg. I’d venture to guess, however, that a backstory would have made the audience further emotionally invested. Ana Lily Amirpour’s moody, high-style horror flick is an unconventional watch, but for as tough and tireless as the premise is, the cinematic style of the film itself is quite idyllic. Minimal dialogue and long, sweeping shots of the vast wasteland make for a meditative watch despite the blood, guts and gore. Lingering shots of barren desert-living mixed with the effortlessly cool and all-around fierce Suki Waterhouse makes The Bad Batch an artistic vision, or dare I say... dream? The Bad Batch is rated R for violence, language, some drug content, and brief nudity. 118 minutes. Opening this Friday at ArcLight Hollywood and On Demand, Amazon and iTunes. • Torrance Memorial Medical Center leadership and community members were joined last week by local elected officials from throughout the South Bay to announce a $32 million donation by philanthropists Melanie and Richard Lundquist to establish a Neuroscience Institute and an Orthopedic and Spine Institute at the 470-bed nonprofit medical center located in Torrance. The contribution, combined with the Lundquists’ previous contributions of $68 million to the hospital, gives Torrance Memorial the distinction of receiving $100 million from a single donor--the largest known contribution to a non-teaching/research hospital in the United States. The $32 million donation will establish an Orthopedic and Spine Institute as well as a Neuroscience Institute at the hospital where 8,000-10,000 orthopedic, spinal, neurosurgical, and neurological patients were served last year. The focus on orthopedics and spine surgery will allow Torrance Memorial to expand its capabilities and recruit surgeons in these specialties. The hospital also intends to establish new ambulatory locations for and Musical Theatre Camp for grades one through five. For grades six through eight, students can try Video Game Animation, Creative Writing, The Voice/Singing Class, and basketball and volleyball camps. High school students may enroll in SAT Boot Camp, Math Tutoring, and Writing the High School Essay, among other selections. Morning and/or afternoon classes are available. Lunch supervision is provided for students in grades one through five who are enrolled for the full day. All classes are held on the El Camino College campus. Registration is required. Parents are encouraged to enroll now as classes fill quickly. orthopedic and spine medical services, reducing the need for patients to leave the South Bay. The Neuroscience Institute—one of the only such programs at a non-academic hospital in Los Angeles County—will mean that patients with neurological needs, which previously had to be referred out of the area, could be cared for at Torrance Memorial. Additional funding will go to upgrade the surgical and ICU capabilities at the hospital. The Lundquists’ commitment to Torrance Memorial stretches back to 1985 when Melanie was a volunteer at the hospital. Melanie’s inside view of the hospital’s operations motivated her to become more involved. Over the last 11 years, the Lundquists established a Cardiovascular Institute, significantly expanded beds in the hospital’s Emergency Room and helped to fund the Lundquist Tower, a 256- bed all-private room hospital. The Lundquists provided in the $50 million donor agreement that their name should be removed from the building when naming rights could be used to attract another significant donor in the future.
