Review of Maps to the Stars (2014) by Filipe C — 08 Jan 2015
Perhaps the darkest film of 2015, maps to the stars is a disturbing tour de force from the master filmmaker of psychological analysis. Cronenberg explores - with great dexterity and architectural precision - the extraordinary pain of repression, fueled by the satirizing nature of a freak show, one that, much like hollywood itself, strives to exorcise its demons in utter magnanimous fashion.
The film plays like a neverending nightmare: extreme, surreal and darkly comedic.
