Blow Out

"Nobody wants to know about it. Nobody wants to know about conspiracy. I don't get it!" Electric, magnetic; kind of unbelievable. The horror of the American political identity made manifest in a picture-perfect work of analogue filmmaking. Voyeurism and the classic psychopathic murderer as symbols of the exploitative political machine on the largest scale. A loveletter to filmmaking even as it declares its own complicity to the same phenomenon. There is no evil like the system itself. Blood under the flag; blood under the fireworks. The political thriller. Nothing else matters. Favourites | Criterion Challenge 2026
