Julia Fox was a breakout star of the Safdie Brothers’
Uncut Gems in 2019, playing the loyal girlfriend to Adam Sandler’s frenetic New York jeweller, Howard Ratner. Now, the actress – also a former dominatrix, fashion designer, artist, and model – has landed a role in a new, New York-set indie film, titled
PVT Chat.
The film revolves around Jack, a lonely internet gambler living in NYC (played by Peter Vack), and Scarlet, the San Francisco-based cam girl and overlooked painter he becomes fixated on (played by Fox).
“His obsession reaches a boiling point when fantasy materializes in reality and Jack sees Scarlet on a rainy Chinatown street,” reads an official synopsis, adding that the film is about: “freedom and fantasy, death and friendship” in the digital age.
The bill is set to make Argentina the first major Latin American country to decriminalise voluntary abortion up to the fourteenth week of pregnancy. Currently, abortion is only legal in cases where the pregnancy causes danger to the person, or is the result of abuse or sexual violence. Even then, “the ultimate decision to abort remains in hands of the health professionals instead of the patient, giving rise to multiple uses and abuse of power,” explains a spokesperson for La Red de Profesionales de la salud por el Derecho a Decidir (The Network of Health Professionals for the Right to Choose).
