The Day The Stage Stood Still
Great psychological study on power dynamics and our reactions to them
Essentially a stage play adaptation of a film, filmed. Only, the original film is only is Lars’ mind. Brilliantly simple idea yet incredibly unique and experimental with its barebones technique: the lack of background (and even foreground at times) and (obviously) dubbed sound design stuck out to me from the wildly bold direction. It’s almost like an overproduced staging of a read-through lmao
Ridiculous cast and very fitting. I haven’t seen Zeljko Ivanek in anything (new or old) in a while since I haven’t watched Law & Order since I got out of the hospital lmfao
Love the “anti-American” and anti-parasite / anti-capitalist themes. Definitely resonates with the growing anti-ICE sentiment!
Three hours is a little rough for this, ngl lol
