Ep. 043 - Destroyer (2018)

from Vulgar Auteurs · host Vulgar Auteurs

Karyn Kusama has destroyed a lot of expectations throughout her filmography. One of which is the expectation that she is a one-note, predictable filmmaker. Destroyer is a good example of that. Coming from a neo-suspense-horror-drama-whatever else you want to label a neatly constructed film that cannot be finitely labeled like The Invitation, Destroyer is a doubling - or quintupling - down of one of Kusama most recognizable themes to her work: Empathy. Join Jason and Paco as they explore the fractured story structure of a film like Destroyer, while allowing some peace with the overall technical skill and acting bravado on display. Suffice to say: we want to love this movie, but... . . . Thank you all for listening! Remember to rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
