Welcome back to the next chapter of our 2019 retrospective. Although we do this to bump our 2019 numbers, we also attempt to find titles that might land on our year-end lists. Arthur strived to accomplish just that by selecting Jennifer Kent’s brutal realistic nightmare, The Nightingale.
The Song of The Nightingale
Following up her much beloved ghost story The Babadook, Jennifer Kent presents a new work that’s just as terrifying. But there are no monsters under the bed here. The Nightingale looks at the ghosts of a nation and reckons with the sins of the past. A raw revenge thriller that doubles as a critique of colonialism, The Nightingale never pulls its punches.
On this week’s show, we move past the shock of what we’ve seen to discuss the films major themes. Racism, sexual assault depictions, and colonialism all rear their ugly heads as we open this one up on the analysis table.
