Anti Valentine's Day
Different forms of love can be seen during our Anti-Valentine's Day program on February 12, 13, and 14.
Anti Valentine's Day
Thomas Foster, Programmer at Filmhuis Den Haag:
''This Valentine’s Day, skip traditional romance for three films exploring obsession, rebellion, and love on the fringes of society.
In To Die For (1995), Nicole Kidman stars as Suzanne Stone, a manipulative TV weather reporter whose ambition leads to a deadly plot involving three disaffected teens. Gus Van Sant’s dark, satirical take on fame and desire is both disturbing and darkly humorous.
Thelma & Louise (1991) redefines the road movie as a feminist outlaw story, with two best friends on a journey of self-discovery, freedom, and defiance, featuring unforgettable performances by Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon.
In Bones and All (2022), Timothée Chalamet and Taylor Russell star as two outcasts on a romantic yet unsettling road trip through the Midwest, exploring identity, addiction, and the primal need for connection.
These films dismantle conventional romance, offering something raw, transgressive, and deeply human—where love comes with a bite.''
