David Robert Mitchell's UNDER THE SILVER LAKE reminded me of David Fincher's ZODIAC as a great portrait of a certain kind of broken thinking that leads to paranoia and conspiratorial thinking.On Internet Archive

I loved it but I also love EYES WIDE SHUT. Just give me a film where a white man wanders from weird encounter to weird encounter and is confused by everything he sees.Permalink On Internet Archive

This @BWDR piece on UNDER THE SILVER LAKE highlights a lot of what I loved about the film. Especially the post-postmodernism of it. At parts it felt like a David Foster Wallace short story on screen.Permalink On Internet Archive

The film's aversion to a certain brand of thinking - an extremely online mode of modern thinking - is very Infinite Jest too. Andrew Garfield's character has the same overthinking tendencies as Hal Incandenza and the film's vast conspiracies is very Marathe and Steeply.Permalink On Internet Archive

Someone keep me from pitching a piece on UNDER THE SILVER LAKE and Infinite Jest. I feel like I just put Infinite Jest back on the shelf after finishing my dissertation.Permalink On Internet Archive
