James Gray's semi-autobiographical film had its world premiere at the festival on Thursday night.
“How did we get here? How did we get here to where there’s like two people who own everything and there’s a bunch of authoritarians that are trying to take over the planet? I think we’re in trouble,” said, which had its world premiere in the Palais on Thursday night.
Some answers, he suggests, lie in the changing political and social backdrop for his film, set in 1980, on the cusp of the first Reagan presidency. “It was the beginning of the ‘market is God’ idea, and if you look at the rise of inequality, it began around 1979 and 1980. So it’s an inflection point in history that I think is in some way quite underrated.”
