Get Out (2017)
Country: US/JAP
Technical: col/2.39:1 104m
Director: Jordan Peele
Cast: Daniel Kaluuya, Allison Williams, Lil Rel Howery, Catherine Keener
Synopsis:
White girl takes her black boyfriend home to meet the parents on the day of a special annual celebration. The parents do not know he is black, but they're cool. He has misgivings, but they are as nothing compared with what actually awaits him.
Review:
Comedy of embarrassment turns into out and out thriller in this 'weekend from hell' allegory of black 'wokeness'. Even the most enlightened Democrat doctor and hypnotherapist in-laws are out to sap the mojo from their daughter's healthy, virile paramours. Fantasies of black potency and subjugation ride shotgun, while the exact nature of what happens to them remains uncannily vague. Genre hybrids were by now becoming commonplace, and this is cut from similar cloth to the BBC's Inside Number 9.
