Let’s watch “EDDINGTON” by ARI ASTER @ FACETS + DISCUSSION, DRINKS

"This 'deranged' starry thriller about the US's pandemic divisions will 'leave you breathless’” (BBC). Midsommar and Hereditary director Ari Aster is once again set to shock with this surreal, gory western featuring Joaquin Phoenix and Pedro Pascal. Eddington is about the general fears and neuroses of the US in the year 2020. The writer-director puts everything into his blackly comic modern western – Covid-19 and online conspiracy theories, Black Lives Matter and white privilege, cult leaders and cryptocurrency. Aster's deranged vision makes most directors seem timid in comparison.

AT 6pm I WILL HAVE DINNER AT “VEGAN PLATE” ACROSS THE STREET FROM FACETS. IF YOU FEEL LIKE JOINING ME, PLEASE SAY SO IN A POST BELOW.

We’ll meet in the Facets’ lobby at 6.40.

AFTER THE SHOW, WE’LL DISCUSS THE FILM IN FACETS’ COZY LOUNGE.
