SHE IS CONANN: A time-traveling fantasy based loosely on the myth of Conan the Barbarian, Bertrand Mandico’s latest is a gory, frequently funny, visual feast that will please both hardcore fans and newcomers to his work alike.

The film follows the titular Conann throughout various eras, from prehistoric times to a gritty, warped 1980s New York. As she (yes, she!) travels through time, Conann is portrayed by a variety of actresses, highlighting Mandico’s penchant for working with and creating boundary-pushing roles for women. Through it all, Conann is accompanied by the bizarre half-dog, half-man mutant, Rainer, played by Mandico’s frequent collaborator Elina Löwensohn in a scene-stealing turn.

An engrossing journey across time and space, CONANN sees Mandico expanding and refining his visual language — his usual vivid color palette juxtaposed with scenes shot in black and white. While early scenes resemble a Frank Frazetta illustration brought to life, echoing his earlier films, other time periods take a decidedly different approach, keeping the audience guessing what will come next. Featuring his trademark bizarre humor, phenomenal set pieces, and over-the-top approach to filmmaking, CONANN is a trippy spectacle tailor-made for audiences who appreciate the weird and wild.
