8. Knives Out


8. Knives Out

What's new in Rian Johnson? (Star Wars: The Last Jedi) Well, this film which is a kind of amazingly fun detective story with a political moral. A murder, a family full of suspects (and celebrities: Chris Evans, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, Toni Collette, Christopher Plummer, Don Johnson,  Ana de Armas ...) and a French detective (a delusional parody of Hercules Poirot from the novels of Agatha Christie, with a Daniel Craig having a great time, who aspires to solve the mystery that has been created in the mansion. Who will be the murderer? Possibly the most ingenious and fun movie of the year. It stands out above all the extraordinary script of Johnson, who plays with the expectations of the public and the topics of this type of detective stories to offer something original, however much it smells like classic. A production full of small but delicious details with a striking and impeccable casting, orchestrated with the usual skill of the filmmaker, which brings out the best of each performer. An exquisite film, in short, that you want to see again.
