CANNES 2018: UNDER THE SILVER LAKE BY DAVID ROBERT MITCHELL
By Mónica Delgado
The key in which Under the Silver Lake is developed lies in an opposite pole to It follows, the film which made David Robert Mitchell visible in Cannes, some years ago. Here, there’s no young people pursued by a killer entity, but a teen universe of raw atmosphere, which causes a humoristic effect. The idea of paranoia and conspiracy like in the classic tales of an imagined Pynchon’s California take a cue on nonsense investigation and entanglement. Here, a young Andrew Garfield becomes attracted to a femme fatale in an undetermined time, between the 90’s and today.
