California Desert Farm, Haywood. This is where horses are bred for the cinema. When the owner of the place is fatally struck by an object falling from the sky, his two children, Otis and Emerald, are surprised.
What could have killed their father? The answer lies beyond the cloud. An alien saucer is hiding there, watching them and preparing to attack.
At first glance, Nope, Jordan Peele’s third feature, is a classic sci-fi film set in Steven Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
It’s a bad idea to know the director of Get Out and Us who doesn’t do anything like everyone else. And the audience will know this from the opening scene, where a sitcom scene is transformed into a crime scene by an out-of-control chimpanzee star.
The rest goes from surprise to surprise. A strange amusement park, a human-sucking ship, a shower of blood falling on a house… funny, horrifying and amazing, Nope is a film of infinite richness.
A true homage to the science fiction works of the 1950s, it also offers a reflection on the art of entertainment and the extreme thirst for big spectacle to seduce the masses.
Among the outstanding elements, we recall the crazy design of this alien, which should delight fans of the genre, but also the performance of the two main actors: Daniel Kaluuya – already the hero of Get Out – and Keke Palmer, the revelation. movie.
With Knop, Jordan Peele confirms his status as a unique filmmaker who shines in an industry where everything ends up the same.
NOPE is available on Netflix.
