“Yorgos Lastimosa”

The way this movie took the absolute worst, most soul-crushing corporate golf course vibes and turned them into a gorgeous, unhinged fever dream about eating the rich? iconic. Unironically one of the most beautifully shot things at sundance this year, the cinematography alone cleared.
