‘Velvet Buzzsaw’
Velvet Buzzsaw is a deliciously over-the-top horror satire set in the world of high art. Jake Gyllenhaal plays Morf Vanderwalt, a crotchety art critic in search of something that will fill him with sensation. He thinks he’s found that in Josephina, a wannabe art dealer who stumbles upon a surprise of herself: a neighbor dies, leaving behind a massive collection of captivating art. What Morf, Josephina, and their ilk soon discover, though, is that this art has a dark power to consume, destroy, and kill. Velvet Buzzsaw comes from writer-director Dan Gilroy, who previously worked with Jake Gyllenhaal and Rene Russo on Nightcrawler.
