legends in virtual reality term an artist claimant 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 which is shaking up the jazz scene and very coolly bringing her 4 strings into the spotlight. and we're in for some fun with this $19.00 pages homage to the golden age of whodunit films agatha christie a director ryan johnson's brilliant trick is to bring the whole thing into the modern age and set it squarely in the trump era well it 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 starting. only if you've heard this one before corona a wealthy crime writer celebrating his 85th birthday with this is
7:46 am
a strange family then murder most foul. everyone's a suspect is a classic agatha christie style story. almost as. the party pre my dad's death. it's a great. area 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 arrow. the clam like everyone in the us 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. it is a family conversation about the issues that are plaguing our country i think it's hope so but at its heart out is
7:47 am
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 you know what is this what's a right mr drysdale c s i k f c. i love. my heads together tailor made for thanksgiving viewing scott rush for joining me in the studio welcome and whodunit is an honor it seems to me way that we don't see it very often on screen these days you have a list of the big screen i mean we had brannock did i go already these are and express 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 hear it sort of killed the the movie mystery star ok so does ryan johnson manage to pull it off the charts 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 a tribute to these the christie films of the 1970 s.
7:48 am
you know the with peter used in off 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 to stay artillery it was amazing here is that they so many them are playing against type i mean it's great to see daniel. not being james von brunn but just a comedic character he has he plays the detective amazingly named ben while bill and click southern accent which almost literally sounds as if you see the scenery but what 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
7:49 am
a lot 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 i should 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 pearl 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

thanks for bringing us the extra dough roxboro. well she is only 32 years old but luisa clément is making her mark as a digital artist as a long time student of world famous photographer and to be asked her focus is on the body and how it is ultimately made in the animists by technology she currently has a solo exhibition on in auckland where her photos videos sculptures and installations raise questions about our identity in a digital has for. aesthetic beguiling and confusing luisa clements work asks the question of where we are right now still in reality or in a virtual world and what defines people in the digital age.

the artist gets her inspiration in city centers where she takes snapshots with her cellphone camera mostly a faceless shop window dummies photographs shapes and abstractions a reference to the digitalisation that's changing daily life. that's restraint on this because of course there are changes in terminology conventions and speech forms of speech interpersonal relations always have had something to do with localization but with digitalisation own space is no longer so directly defined and yet. where does the human body end and the digital self begin for series heads luisa claimants assemble cell phone photos into a series of portraits of mannequin. in this wordless way she demonstrates the loss of personality and modern society.
