12. Felt

Having world premiered to great acclaim this past September at Austin€™s Fantastic Fest, Felt is the next film made in director Jason Banker€™s exciting voice (following the unsettling Toad Road), one that smashes doc and fiction together as he builds narrative around a real life subject. Amy Everson stars as a traumatised artist who slips into elaborate fantasies to escape her troubles with men, making mischief in the wilds of her imagination under the guise of a bluntly Freudian yet skillfully crafted alter-ego. It€™s possible that Felt is the first film in a new offshoot of the rape/revenge genre. With the praise pouring in, it€™s certain that Felt is a beautiful film from one of the most exciting new directors working today, anchored by an equally praised performance. It's been said that Felt sends rape/revenge movies like I Spit On Your Grave running with their tails between their legs, as the main character's psychosexual paranoia produces acts of malice not easily shaken.
