Forward Flash 044: Bad junk. Bad brick. | Brick (2005) [Patreon Preview]

for the full episode join the Patreon [patreon.com/fashiongrunge]

This is one of those films that hits you like a ton of 'bricks' (ha). When I first saw the trailer on a "Focus Features" DVD I knew this was one that I had to see. In Rian Johnson's directorial debut, this modern film noir weaves quite a knot that slowly unties throughout the course of the story.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt carries every scene which reminded me of his other indie films in the early 00s that I loved so much. I get into why this story and visual style reminds me of Donnie Darko, how Focus Features was equivalent to A24 back in the day, the minimal normie yet important fashion, and try to work out the illogical parts of what the hell was actually going on.

"Throw one at me if you want, hash head. I've got all five senses and I slept last night, that puts me six up on the lot of you."
