We have seen Joakin Phoenix and Pedro Pascal in Edington in the skin: it’s paranoid and provocative West not leaving indifferent

He named after Héréité or Midsomar in the Horror Cinema: Ari Aster first arrives at the Cannes Festival and the official competition. American director, producer and screenwriter participates with Palme d’Or with his new feature film Edington, for which he finds Joaquin Phoenix, who is already involved in The Strange Beautiful.

For this fourth feature film, Ari Aster also combines Pedro Pascal, Emma Stone and Austin Butler in the Black West, allowing it to get it new and darker in modern America. Another form of horror is different from what it has offered before.

In the chaos of the pandemic

Along with Edington, Ari Aster chose to return us to the mid -part of the world in the middle of the world, in the middle of a pandemic, in a small town of Mexico, which is physically cut off from the outside world. The population is watered by fake stories, conspiracy theories, leaders of violence and society and other views, and with dangerous influence.

To listen to these bad memories, Ari Aster puts his edington as a nightmare mirage in a steep sequence, impressive scenery, and fate and returns to importance and humor and humorous pads.

In this desert bubble, it is remote for the masks and social media that the ego argument has played by Sheriff Javi Jvari (Joakin Phoenix) and this microcosm of the Mayor Ted Garcia (Pedro Pascal).

The married Louise (Emma Stone) was depressed and forced to live an innate life of her mother -in -law, Joe Cross, with Joe Cross is a fragile, manipulated and blocked electron. Shared by those who reduce it, this second -class sheriff decides to appear in the municipal elections against Ted Garcia in the middle of the election campaign.

The latter is a progressive mayor who wants to modernize Edington, in the remote and powerful multicultural history of the land, but is closed due to a retrograde atmosphere with essential achievements, attracting new data center, dedicated to artificial intelligence.

Joe Cross candidates will result in many chain reactions in this small town in the desert, which will gradually lead to the destructive but identified chaos of our modern society. And when the bubble explodes, it hurts.

A bodily microcosm that reflects the violence and absurdity of our modern world

These were just small regulations between the sheriff and the mayor for the OK Coral, eventually becoming a large -scale West, which is a paranoid experience and a closed corner where all the population behaves against each other.

Edington is a proposal that can surprise Ari Aster, who has been accustomed to a completely different cinema with his previous works, more horror and anxiety.

And yet, we find Midsommar’s Edington elements (from his public camera) and Beau is afraid (for his delirium parano, which Joakin Phoenix is ​​already in great form).

First of all, this fourth feature film is a long -standing project. Ari Aster has already had an idea of ​​this black psychological West in pipes and new elements of pandemic climate in public dynamics is especially devastating, which he brought with.

This allows Aster to come close to provocation and black humorous fractures of modern America, which in this psychedelic and terrible comedy, is genius, which is genius by genius violence and the absurdity of our world.

Already afraid of Beau, Edington points to the transition to its cinematic images in a more human, more realistic and more political horror form, which is difficult to collect. So it will definitely be divided without a forehead and a bypass sentence.

What is what determines our ultra demonstrative and individualistic era, the harmful life of life and what the black screen we use without moderation. And for a few years, seeing this is not beautiful.

The 78th Cannes Film Festival is May 13 to May 24, 2025.
