GFF 2024: Rose Glass on Love Lies Bleeding
We're back at Glasgow Film Festival for some special episodes made on the ground at the festival. First up, we have a chat with Saint Maud director Rose Glass, whose blistering second feature, Love Lies Bleeding, opened the festival.
Love Lies Bleeding is a wonderfully lurid neo-noir thriller starring Kristen Stewart as Lou, the owner of a grimy gym in Nowheresville New Mexico, who begins a passionate romance with Jackie, an itinerant wannabe bodybuilder who walks into Lou's gym one day, played by Katy O’Brian.
Lou and Jackie’s whirlwind romance is short-lived though, as Lou's dysfunctional family, murky past and some roid rage combine to send the couple's life into a tailspin.
Before Love Lies Bleeding's UK Premiere, we sat down with Glass to discuss this hugely entertaining 80s noir throwback. Take a listen.
