Pandemonium (2023)

Found this when it popped up on YTS, and was intrigued when I read the highlighted part of the synopsis:

Synopsis:

Nathan and Daniel are caught in a road accident that kills them both. As they come to grips with their deaths, Nathan confronts his past and the consequences of his actions. Now trapped in the hellish void of Pandemonium, he encounters tortured souls like Jeanne, a disturbed child; Julia, a grief-stricken mother; and Norghul, the guide of the great void. Will he find a way to escape the torment that awaits him for eternity?

Went ahead and d/loaded it and watched it today. Glad I did!

It's something of an 'Anthology' film, but there's really only two stories as well as the wrap-around. The first story is the focus for my bringing the movie here.

The movie in total is ok, but it's Jeanne's story that makes this FLM material. It runs about 28 minutes and is a wonderfully horrible tale of a disturbed little girl. In fact the director, Quarxx inserted his short film [that's been [REQ]'d HERE ] 'Les Princesses Font Ce Qu'Elles Veulent AKA Princesses Do As They Please', that was actually released in 2021, into the film 'Pandemonium'.

The actress that plays 'Jeanne' is Manon Maindivide [from an 'English' standpoint; what an imaginatively odd surname.. ], and... WOW!! She kinda blew my socks off!. What a mixture of little girl innocence and pure sociopathic malevolence! I was in LOVE!!

(Yikes!! It was as hard as soppy sheep shitte to find images of her in this movie online..)

And now friggin' 'Postimage' is acting up giving me a 'Bad Gateway'... At least I got 8 pix uploaded before it crapped out on me..

(A 'Behind-the-scenes' shot of her character talking to the Deamon Guide. This did NOT happen in the movie.)

Anyway, I really enjoyed the 'Princesses Do As They Please' segment. I was thrilled and chilled as Manon did a great job creating a very disturbed little girl.. She's onscreen pretty much the entire 28 minutes of her segment.

Manon also has her own YouTube Channel with a buncha cute videos of her:

I was interested in the short from Caleyunior's initial post, so very glad you found this! Although I strongly suspect that I will go straight to the "Jeanne" part of the anthology and skip the rest with its philosophy and theology. When the director calls himself "Quarxx" that is an immediate warning of pretentiousness. I'll just take the horror, thank you!

Oh no, Manon has a YouTube channel ... I don't DARE check it out ...

THANK YOU for bringing up these neat movies, kev. I am glad you've been able to watch some movies and share your experience. (I still struggle allotting the time for that.) And Manon sure is a chipper cutie (at least in those youtube videos). I am grabbing this one right now.

Oh no, Manon has a YouTube channel ... I don't DARE check it out ...

Heheh. I just did, it's pretty fun and cute. It isn't a "vlog-heavy" channel, is case you were concerned about that. It seems to be mostly collections of clips of movies, tv shows and short films that she's been in, clips of course featuring her. The closest I see her to vlogging is her "selftape présentation" audition videos. In those, she speaks very clearly, you could understand them well enough without subs even. The auto-gen French subs do ok and will help if you need it. I liked her "Medley Manon" series, which are clips of her from what looks like a French children's TV show.



Here, for the release:

Yes, me too. Thank a lot for finding, kev!

I wish I could find the short film.

I do not DARE look at it because I am afraid I would like it too much and waste time that ought to be spent watching the movie.

You mean, for those who understand French? I don't think clearer pronunciation would help me.

I wish I could find the short film.
