After being part of Fantastic Fest 2018, An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn, British director Jim Hosking’s second feature after The Greasy Strangler, is now in theaters, on VOD and Digital HD. In the film, Emile Hirsch is Shane, the temperamental manager of a coffee shop who prefers to lay off his own wife, Lulu (Aubrey Plaza), rather than one of his other cashiers. That inherent rarity of Hirsch's character leads him to commit a robbery simply because his wife -- now always bored with no work or a good TV set at home -- told him that his brother of Indian origin (played by Sam Dissanayake) had more money than him. Eventually, and almost by chance, Lulu meets Colin (Jemaine Clement), who has been hired...

After the grossest of gross-out comedies, The Greasy Strangler, writer-director Jim Hosking returned to the Sundance Film Festival this year for his follow-up, with quite a bigger cast. Following a strange night surrounding a “magical” event, An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn, starring Aubrey Plaza, Jemaine Clement, Emile Hirsch, and Craig Robinson, continues Hoskings’ peculiar brand of comedy, albeit in a slightly more palatable form. Ahead of an October release, the first trailer has now arrived.
“I think it’s strange that I do make these kinds of films when I don’t watch anything remotely like them,” Hosking tells Film4. “I don’t watch comedies, I watch serious stuff and emotional films and sad films, I’m much more drawn to sad, human kinds of films. Maybe that’s just how I am as a person, and then when I make stuff, I need to have a release, so...

“This is disgusting.”
They say you can’t intentionally make a cult film, but you can certainly try. The Greasy Strangler tries very, very hard, and the result is a film that’s as unique as it is odd. We’ll have to wait a decade or so to see if the film is remembered as a cult favorite, but for now we can probably all agree that it’s a ridiculously absurd genre-bender guaranteed to have both fierce advocates and absolute detractors.
Keep reading to see what I heard on the commentary track for…
The Greasy Strangler (2016)
Commentators: Jim Hosking (director/co-writer), Michael St. Michaels (actor), Sky Elobar (actor)
1. The house was actually every bit as disgusting and smelly as it looks. “It’s a shame we don’t have a good shot of the black mold,” says Michaels.
2. Elobar says he gained roughly fifteen pounds for the role “on that belly there.”
