Modern slow cinema for those who love their transgressive nihilism drenched in blood & neon. In a nation on the brink of societal collapse, to what extent is killing redeemable? Violence is a perpetual cycle- it eats away at men until they bring about their own demise. I have a million words for this 13-hour meditative magnum opus, but none could do better than Jena Malone's closing monologue in ep. 10:
"Soon...violence will become erotic, torture euphoric... as the masses hail public executions...propelled by the wrath of fascism. Concentration camps will be rebuilt. Ignorance will be exalted. And there will be race wars... for hate will be rewarded, and seen as truthful... and beautiful. Faith will be reduced to venomous platitudes... the morphine infested enslavement of thought. Perversity will be dignified. Incest, molestation, and pedophilia will all be praised. Rape will be rewarded. The few will have everything. The most will have nothing. For not all men are created equal. Narcissism will no longer be suppressed... but worshipped as a virtue. Indulging ones impulses will become instinctual. Our identities will be defined by the pain we cause. Pure, unadulterated nihilism... will be the only solution... in the face of glorious death. In time... we will have our own religion. Our own dynasty. And with it... we will wake the true fury of the world. And as man implodes in a wash of blood and silence... a new mutation will emerge. And on that day... I will declare the dawn of innocence."
Women will thrive off the sins of men. A story with no hero. The eye of Horus. Martin=martyr. A tarot reading on the ever-decaying state of America. Metaphysical, almost spiritual at times. I'm speechless.
