5. Leave the World Behind - cinema - VPRO Gids

  • Drama van Sam Esmail. Met o.a. Julia Roberts, Mahershala Ali, Ethan Hawke, Myha'la Herrold en Kevin Bacon. Waar te zien?

  • Het gezin Sandford is een weekendje weg in een riant vakantiehuis als plotseling alle communicatienetwerken uitvallen. Enkele uren later staat een man (Mahershala Ali) voor de deur die beweert de eigenaar van het huis te zijn. Maar hoe verifieer je iemands identiteit zonder internet en telefonie? Regisseur en co-scenarist Sam Esmail, bedenker van hitserie Mr. Robot, creëert binnen de villa een unheimische microkosmos vol wantrouwen en egoïsme. Dat is overduidelijk een metafoor voor het huidige Amerika, maar wie optimaal wil genieten van deze uitmuntende psychologische thriller dient de film vooral niet té serieus te nemen. Getuige ook de ironische slotscène en de knallende oneliner waarmee Julia Roberts de film opent: ‘I fucking hate people.’

  • After making a splash with “Don’t Look Up,” an OK disaster movie buoyed by its provocative premise, Netflix deserves to make an even bigger one with “Leave the World Behind,” a better apocalyptic thriller with a foot so firmly planted in reality, those who stream it might not sleep for days.
