I really enjoyed both Glass Onion movies. They’re fun in an old school, murder mystery way. I watched them both for the first time recently. Watch them in order. Parasite is also a FANTASTIC film. Highly recommend. The Death of Stalin is absolutely hilarious. One of my most enjoyable viewings in recent memory. Enjoy!
Tuesday is the new dad + daughter movie day. She's seen the later Glass Onion but not Knives Out so that was my pick on your recommendation. I remember being told about Cut-up technique and I had a strong feeling of it being applied to the genre of murder mystery here, while still being an actual genuine murder mystery romp. I really enjoyed how the tropes were used as misdirection and taking a humorous approach and, like any good show or film, there are obviously many clues dropped to encourage a re-watch, which I'm pretty certain I will do.
So I watched Death of Stalin yesterday and, although I definitely enjoyed it, I ended up slightly disappointed. I think I went in with the wrong expectations though expecting it would be more vicious like In The Thick of It, In The Loop or Veep. It was a clever stomp through the changeover though and some good performances (Beria in particular) and I did like the decision to take it in the direction of a theatrical farce rather than dwelling on the historical brutality.
I recall laughing a lot. Great cast! I mean; Michael Palin and Jeffrey Tambor alone are great. But I thought Jason Isaacs stole the show. It was good ole fashioned cinematic fun.
Armando Iannucci can do little wrong as far as I'm concerned. Anyone that can conjure up Malcolm Tucker is worth watching. Bonus point since both onions are on Netflix too.
