Blood Orange (2016 film)

Blood Orange is a 2016 film noir directed by Toby Tobias and starring Iggy Pop as an ageing rock star (Bill) and Kacey Barnfield as his young wife (Isabelle).

In a stunning modern Spanish Villa lives Bill, an aging, half-blind rock star, with his young, very beautiful and sexually promiscuous wife Isabelle.

However, Lucas is already torn up inside with the desire for revenge, and when he sees how Isabelle is having one of her flings with David, their Spanish pool boy, he sees an opportunity to turn the tables and things spiral dangerously out of control.

In the UK, the Radio Times commented that "the twist isn't entirely concealed, but it is surprisingly atmospheric and artful.

[3] The Hollywood Reporter said that Iggy Pop “oozes craggy charisma in his first starring role” and that his “casting should give it cult appeal in theaters”, but described the film as "more self-conscious homage to vintage film noir than a fully rounded addition to the genre", and criticised director Tobias for requiring Barnfield to appear nude in several scenes, commenting that "for male-written female-fantasy figures, the line between empowerment and exploitation is often a fuzzy one".
