373 - Smile
Eavesdropping at the Movies - A podcast by Jose Arroyo and Michael Glass
Categories:
Trauma as metaphor has become a trope of horror in recent years, and Smile features it more bluntly than you've ever seen. We discuss its messaging, storytelling, and camerawork, and remark upon the ways in which 2014's It Follows may have inspired it. In the sense of Ali Baba and the Forty People Who Were Inspired. Recorded on 16th October 2022.
