EDDINGTON Interview | Ari Aster (writer/director)

In #Eddington, writer-director #AriAster crafts a modern Western that swaps saloon standoffs for smartphone-fueled chaos, set against the backdrop of a pandemic-stricken New Mexico town. With #JoaquinPhoenix as a guileless sheriff-turned-mayoral-candidate and #PedroPascal as his tech-savvy rival, the film explores the absurdities of fractured realities, internet-fueled conspiracies and the haunting echoes of American ideals. Aster’s signature blend of humor, chaos and existential reflection makes 'Eddington' a poignant and provocative look at a society teetering on the edge.
