Review of Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022) by Mauro_Lanari — 25 Dec 2022

(Mauro Lanari).

"Quandoque bonus dormitat Lennon". I had already forgotten the first episode and I already remember nothing about this. It may well be a "parody of a classic detective fiction and also a social criticism" (Francesca Lombardo), but it is even more "Agatha Christie reloaded" (Mariarosa Mancuso) at the time of the "decline of Western filmmaking" with its "ultra-binge watching in streaming" (Gianluigi Negri). A necessary clarification: when I speak of drift, decline, low empire, I'm not an inconsolable nostalgic. I would hope, however, that the new, the different, the change were also bearers of improvement.
