Brandon Cronenberg's new film is about the fact that an apple from an apple tree will definitely not fall far. The son continues his father's work as fanatically as possible, which, of course, cannot but rejoice. Again, the old new song: man is a rejected rudiment of technology, paranoia, blood, loss of self-identity, anxiety.
The picture depicts a strange future, where for some reason it is not easier to just kill a person by hiring a killer, but you need to invade another person with a parasite and do evil through him. Andrea Riseborough does evil, and red neon (to make Mandy fans sweet) echoes her. In general, the caste is good. Sean Bean is surprising. Jennifer Jason Leigh seems to have somehow survived in Zone X (Annihilation), and Christopher Abbott did a good job in the Catch-22 mine-series.
True to family tradition, Cronenberg shows the twisted technology of the near future, which in one look looks much more evil than the very essence of Apple. An ordinary millennial would definitely not want to spend money on this.
There is a lot of blood in the film. Even more. There is a great bad trip scene, again with Riseborough, nudity, screams and filipodic paranoia of the classic spill. In general, a cocktail that has been loved since the early films of Cronenberg the elder. As a result, if you don't wait for anything, and at the same time be a fan of this, it will come. I do not advise the rest. Still, the topic is typical, and not particularly to the liking of non-connoisseurs.
