August 5, 2024 ~ Lucy Ann Lance talks with Perry Seibert for this week's Talking Pictures. Perry Seibert reviews “Love Lies Bleeding,” a film directed by Rose Glass and starring Kristen Stewart as Lou, a gym manager in a small Texas town. Described as a “pulp masterpiece,” the movie embraces the gritty, raw storytelling characteristic of pulp fiction, avoiding trendy or self-aware pretenses. The plot revolves around a love story between Lou and Jackie, a young bodybuilder played by Katie O’Brien, complicated by Lou’s antagonistic father (Ed Harris) and brother-in-law (Dave Franco). Set in 1989, the film’s narrative surprises viewers with its twists and encourages them to watch without prior knowledge of the plot.
