intelligence in virtual reality german artist clément explores what it means to be human in our digitally dominated age and. she's been on stage since she was a kid but now a polish based sensation can get which is shaking up the just scene and very coolly bringing her 4 strings into the spotlight. and we're in for some fun with this $19.00 sout pays homage to the golden age of whodunit films agatha christie the director ryan johnson's brilliant trick is to bring the whole thing into the modern age and set it squarely in the trump era lit delivers more than its share of punches that america's gaping social political divide while the dynamite cast simply has a field day with it's starting. to slowly if you've heard this one before the wealthy crime writer celebrating his 85th birthday with this is

a strange family then murder most foul killed. everyone's a suspect is a classic agatha christie style story. almost. as if the party pre my dad's death. it's a great. director ryan johnson and his star studded cast obviously had a ball with this modern day whodunit. you know the film is set in the trump era. the klan like every u.s. family on thanksgiving these days fights over issues of immigration and white privilege. it's not an antitrust movie and it's not a proton movie it is a family conversation about the issues that are plaguing our country i think it's obscene but at its heart knives out is

a rollicking twisty thriller that never lets its politics get in the way of entertainment detect or in the way of a good one liner. of course what is this what is a right mr drysdale. c s i k f c. heads together tailor made for thanksgiving viewing scott rockstar joining me in the studio welcome and the who dunnit is all right seems to me we don't see it very often on screen these days you have a list on the big screen i mean we had brannock did i get organised or an espresso a couple of years ago but that was more of an astrologer piece this is really a modern day take on the whodunit genre and and it's a big challenge really key because the the john has been done to death on television i mean c s i which they could have here is sort of killed the the movie mystery star ok so does ryan johnson manage to pull it off yet tries and i think he does i mean what's what's what's fun about this is he obviously loves the genre and he really is this is really
7:48 pm
a tribute to these the act the christie films of the 1970 s. you know the with peter ustinov and so on and which were always really fun and always had a laugh out of the whole thing will be incredibly well plotted mysteries but in this film as well it has a lot to do with the cast which is just stay artillery and it was amazing here is that they so many them are playing against type i mean it's great to see daniel. craig not being james bond but just playing a comedic character he has he plays the detective him easily named ben wall blow and click southern accent which almost literally sounds as if you see the scenery but he's one of many i mean toni collette is phenomenal you've got you've got jamie lee curtis you've got one after the other all with incredibly sharp performances of that really bring out this there's this whole film and make it make a child make the whole sort of political aspects of the film which are they are sort of float by it's just one you know half an hour an hour and a half of it pertains to this the meat to it but it but it's definitely bringing out its last and there's a relatively new faces cuban actors and out of math yeah this is probably the one

face that people don't know from this amazing cast of she was in the blade runner sequel last year so she you might have not seen her for met but here she plays the maid and she's sort of the good guy you know she's basically all good question basically the the watson to the homes of daniel craig. and she's an incredible film . character in this film because she's the only sort of warm heart in the center of the film amongst all these sort of white privilege and quite horrible rich characters and we're going to be seeing a lot more of her she's going to be in the new james bond film alongside daniel craig how exciting so i'm thinking very quickly that this gets a thumbs up for a weekend if you if you're a fan of murder mysteries definitely but even if you just want an hour and a half with your family and not fighting for an hour and a half on thanksgiving this is the perfect film for that ok well we definitely look forward to catching that one that's going to be one on my ever lengthening list and
