  "account": "Rooney Mara and Kate Mara star as Joan and Jean Holbrooke in Werner Herzog's surreal film Bucking Fastard, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival. The sisters, inseparable and sharing a single consciousness, are madly in love with Gareth Mulroney, played by Orlando Bloom. They embark on a series of adventures, including digging a tunnel to a land of freedom, while grappling with jealousy and heartbreak when Gareth rejects them for a wife. The movie's colorful and imaginative vignettes, shot in Herzog's signature style, showcase the Mara sisters' remarkable chemistry and emotional depth.",
  "summary": "The real-life sisters play scorned sisters, inspired by a real-life duo from York, in a meandering story that's pure, sweet, gaga Herzog.",
