Vox Lux by Brady Corbet
VoX LuX or a touch of smth different
Every year there’s A movie that comes and does smth different, sets the.. er, no, wrong. Not every year. This whole sentence makes no sense. There’s no pattern to this. Just once in while, or twice or whatever films are introduced into the market that are not award-sweethearts or not necessarily. Films that are odd but oddly watchable. Not arthouse but different enough. Films that usually have great visuals or do smth never done before and not just for the sake of being “other”. Films that are executively produced by artists rather than professional producers. And you like them. You don’t adore them. They never become the bests for you but they become introducers and you remember them, even rewatch them. They awe you by either having this kind of music scenes
or scenes that hit you..to the floor. Scenes that play with you. And you cling to them. Like.
Vox Lux was that one for me. Kudos to Natalie Portman and Jude Law for producing this film as I’m sure noone from producers guild of Hollywood would’ve dared to. You have to have massive balls for this.
P.S. The school shooting scene at the beginning blew my mind.. and heart. It legit made feel like I was there.
See it.
