This is my placeholder until Digger (2026) gets added to the db.
Career defining work from its director & lead actor that breaks the fourth wall so hard, I think even the seventh wall in another dimension got broken, too. Inarritu writes a ton of loopholes into his film that ensure every criticism can be explained away as an artistic choice or self-aware commentary. It's indulgent and daring, but everything it does passes snuff. Crucial, urgent, necessary intellectualism against intellectualism.
