First Times Presents: Andrea Kramer’s “Please Baby Please” - After witnessing a violent crime, Suze and her husband Arthur begin to unravel as new fears and desires take hold. Director Amanda Kramer dissects the breakdown of the "perfect" American couple through artifice and over-the-top theatrics, anchored by Andrea Riseborough’s sizzling performance that’s as intoxicating as it is unsettling. The film’s visual style has been compared to West Side Story by way of Kenneth Anger — a refreshing departure from the realism that often dominates contemporary cinema. Lofty and poetic, Kramer has said that this film is meant to leave you with more questions than answers.
