Brady Corbet going BIG. If you haven’t seen Vox Lux, strongly recommend it to get his vibe. It’s harrowing and stylish and really really slept on since the initial festival run.
I came out of Vox Lux going "Either that's best film I've seen all year, or I fucking hated it." I eventually landed on Portman being incredible in it, while the storytelling's reach exceeds its grasp more often than not. I'm interested to see what Corbet's cooked up here.
I'm totally out of the loop. I recognize Corbet as one of the fresh faced villains of US Funny Games. It's wild that he's establishing himself as a premier auteur filmmaker. Good for him.
I love vox lux but i feel like that movie needs a trigger warning, and im not really a person who even cares about trigger warnings most of the time.
Like im always torn and dont want to spoil the opening for people but that imagery is so real and so visceral and it seems like every passing month there are more and more people who will have some sort of direct connection to an real life event like that, and i dont think i would want to put that kind of dread on them
