Anyone else feeling that Get Out vibe from this one?
Annapurna Pictures recently released the first trailer for writer/director Boots Riley’s Sorry to Bother You, but the film has already premiered at the Sundance Film Festival back in January.
Collider are saying that it “knocked audiences’ socks off”, packed with “genuinely crazy twists and turns” that make it the most insane movie of 2018.
Yeah, grabbed my attention too.
Some of their write-up below:
It’s a film that’s hard to sum up in a couple of sentences, but I’ll do my best. It takes place in an alternate present day version of Oakland and follows a telemarketer named Cassius Green (Lakeith Stanfield) who begins rising up the ranks at his office when he’s taught how to use his “white voice”—which is just David Cross dubbing all the lines.
The film tackles issues of corporatism, racism, misogyny, feminism, community, greed, assimilation, unionization [sic], gentrification, and much, much more. The film is highly satirical and takes place in a heightened reality that, as it gets crazier and crazier, somehow continues to feel realistic.
Show me the crazy:
This one hits cinemas in the US on July 6.
