Nickel Boys 2024
Dissolves the body and materializes the spirit. Tackles the depiction of violence and subjectivity with deep commitment and care. Turns the viewer into the ultimate witness and addresses the complicity in looking away — led and trapped by the protagonists gaze. The rich tapestry of details, the sprawling and yet concise dramaturgy. An act of testimony. A Zone of Interest sibling.
The way this eventually redefines the classic shot and counter shot, incorporates photography… When Arthur Jafa said that Black people need to make the medium of film their own the way they do with music, he couldn‘t have known this was coming.
