Her Smell is a 2018 American drama film written, co-produced and directed by Alex Ross Perry.It stars Elisabeth Moss, Cara Delevingne, Dan Stevens, Agyness Deyn, Gayle Rankin, Ashley Benson, Dylan Gelula, Virginia Madsen and Amber Heard and follows Moss as fictional rock star Becky Something, whose band experiences brief fame but is broken up by her self-destructive behavior. But with all due respect to Jackson Maine, the best of the bunch is “Her Smell,” an electrifying grunge epic in which Elisabeth Moss plays a Courtney Love type whose primary condition is chaos. Through the fragmented story of a larger-than-life but past-her-prime ‘90s punk-rock star who’s fallen victim to addiction—Courtney Love comparisons are certainly apt here—Perry stuffs “Her Smell” with an alarming dose of physical and emotional suffering. On the docket this week is David Cronenberg’s devilishly creepy “Videodrome” (Tuesday, Brattle) pairing high punk princess Debbie Harry and James Woods (before he went to the absurd extreme right) to follow the 1983 underground of early cable TV into the surreal and lurid. Staged in five real-time acts over the course of a decade or so, Everyone puts up with Becky more than seems tolerable, the vague reason being that she wasn’t always such a nightmare. “Her Smell” gets at the heart of the pop-rock ethos, whether or not that ethos involves Top 40 charts: As a performer, what does it mean to live up to the public persona you’ve invented? )Director Alex Ross Perry (“Listen Up Philip”) appears at the Harvard Film Archive on Monday to introduce and discuss his latest film, Starting Tuesday and running through the end of the moth, the Brattle Theatre and Harvard Film Archive co-curates “Make My Day: The Cinematic Imagination of the Reagan Era” with classics from the mid-’70s to the late ’80s. So much that many will find going through this turmoil unscathed virtually impossible. Director Alex Ross Perry (“Listen Up Philip”) appears at the Harvard Film Archive on Monday to introduce and discuss his latest film, “Her Smell,” starring Elizabeth Moss (TV’s “Mad Men” and “The Handmaid’s Tale”) as a rock diva something akin to Natalie Portman’s turn in “Vox Lux” (2018), though Moss’ Becky Something is clearly a nod to Courtney Love’s career, tumultuous melodrama and … But the viewer never sees the cause of her downward spiral and is left to assume it’s some sort of drug abuse, which Becky confirms much later on. Perry is interested almost exclusively in the effect her addiction has on everyone around her; “I think that self-destructiveness can also mean self-reflection, can mean poetic sensibility,” Love says in that Elisabeth Moss Is Essentially Courtney Love in the Rock’n’Roll Drama Her SmellA daily roundup of the most important stories in musicDaughters’ Alexis Marshall Shares New Song “Nature in Three Movements”: ListenLydia Loveless Announces New Album, Shares New Video: WatchTim Heidecker and Weyes Blood on Making a Groovy Album About DeathMick Jagger, Lorde, More Sign Open Letter on Unauthorized Use of Music by PoliticiansElisabeth Moss as the fictional rock star Becky Something in “Her Smell.” Photo courtesy of Gunpowder & Sky.
