Braver Angels Film Club: "One Battle After Another"

Film Club Topic:
Come discuss One Battle After Another with the Braver Angels Film Club.
Paul Thomas Anderson's film, now nominated for 13 Oscars, has taken America by storm. Inspired by Thomas Pynchon's novel Vineland, the film tells the story of the left-wing radical group The French 75 and their mission to stop deportation efforts and bring down the right-wing government. But things get... complicated... between Colonel Steven J. Lockjaw and French 75-member Perfidia Beverly Hills, resulting in a power struggle entangled in politics, race, and desire that will last for decades.

Years later, how does stoned-out ex-French 75 member Bob Ferguson (Perfidia's former lover) deal with the consequences of his past when their teenage daughter Willa suddenly becomes the target of a federal military operation? There's only one way to find out.

One Battle After Another blows up America's political divisions on the big screen and cranks everything to 11. This action-packed epic satirizes modern America in a thrill ride that'll keep you on the edge of your seat, refusing to play it safe. And yet, at the heart of it is a story about love and family, and the importance of choosing love in a divided, violent time. Featuring knockout performances from Leonardo DiCaprio, Teyana Taylor, Sean Penn, Benicio del Toro, and more, One Battle After Another has already made its mark in the history books. Come discuss it with us and let us know what you think.

Note: This is not a film screening! One Battle After Another can be seen in theaters, on HBO Max, or rented on VOD (Apple, Amazon Prime, Youtube, etc.)
Be sure to watch the film before we meet on Zoom to discuss it!
