So, Primetime.
Shot, edited, lit and coloured very well. It did a great job of putting you right back into the mid 2000s with cultural and political references littered throughout. The 4:3 ratio did a lot of heavy lifting, too.
There was a great visualisation of dial-up, too.
It was uncomfortable, relentless and gripping. R Pats and the rest of the cast smashed it.
As a father it was an unsettling watch (obvs), it heavily leant into all the ways the world can quickly turn everything and anything into entertainment. It made me feel queasy at times, but I guess that was the point.
I’ve not seen much Hansen’s work, and this has prompted me to go back and look at his methods and how the shows were put together back in the day, just to see how accurate the film was in depicting his shows.
