A crossing of Istanbul, in its flows, its incessant movements, its rhythms. An Istanbul caught in its insomniac vibrations, A city, made of contrasts and oppositions, shared between Orient and West, modernity and tradition, order and chaos, individual and crowd. In the hypnosis of what turns, as in a perpetual movement, a somnambulistic vision, made of shaky images A city, captured in its alternations, its beats, in the rhythms inscribed in the montage, with the sound which mixes with the rumors of the city, with the drone of the megalopolis.
I understand that this would have been consistent with the language used by that generation, due to its role in the medical profession, however as someone who has family members with Down Syndrome I took it very personally.
"WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO SACRIFICE?!!!!" "EVERYTHING!!!!!" This is but one of a multitude of highly emphatic questions, and subsequent answers, being asked in the newest feature film from one of the current masters of horror, Jordan Peele ("Get Out", "Us" and "Nope"). I must give Peele credit in that he continues to push the boundaries of specific genres and their associated tropes in order to provide what ends up amounting to subtly then jarringly intense, yet still character and story-driven, cinema that speaks more to indie stylings than mainstream.
The tale of two friends spans three films and gives wonderful representation for young girls everywhere.
Two Distant Strangers (2020) centers around Carter James (Joey Bada$$) as he tries to get back home to his pitbull, Jeter, after spending a night at the apartment of his date Perri (Zaria Simone). What gets in the way of Carter reuniting with his dog is that every time he tries to leave Perri’s apartment, he is killed by police and wakes up back in her bed in a never-ending cycle. It addresses the issue of police brutality which rightly has been in the public eye more and more with the unjust deaths caused at the hands of law enforcement.
SPOILERS AHEAD. Premature is a story about the pain of love and realities. Transitioning from youth to our perspective of adulthood, how do we grapple with loss?
