In a season of sequels, franchises, and bloated blockbusters, Ana Lily Amirpour‘s “The Bad Batch” feels like a cinematic oasis. The director behind “A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night” returns with a bold, post-apocalyptic vision, but one that isn’t afraid to have some groove to it as well.
Starring Suki Waterhouse, Jason Momoa, Keanu Reeves, and Giovanni Ribisi, the film is set in a dystopian future United States, in which a young girl condemned to wander a desert wasteland is captured by a community of cannibals. Managing to escape, the girl later encounters and befriends one of her former captors — but will the two of them be able to avoid getting slaughtered in this world where savagery is central to survival? Powering the unique tale is a soundtrack that includes ’80s faves Culture Club, revered electronic artist Pantha Du Prince, and ’90s wonders Ace Of Base.
