370 - Nope
Eavesdropping at the Movies - Un pódcast de Jose Arroyo and Michael Glass
Categorías:
Nope, Jordan Peele's third film as writer-director, following his zeitgeist-capturing Get Out and complex, ambitious Us, invites its audience to speculate on audiences and spectacle. The kinds of things it wants us to think about are clear, and we discuss its themes of commercialised tragedy, fear of the audience, and photography as truth, among others - but what it has to say about them is at best muddled, and, more frankly, disappointingly uncritical. Like Peele's previous films, Nope is a terrific conversation starter, but unlike them, its contribution to that conversation is weak. Recorded on 12th August 2022.
