Funny, I was just thinking about this as I was listening to Quinten Tarantino’s latest Video Archives podcast in which he, and cohort Roger Avary, breakdown the career of Once Upon a Time...’s Rick Dalton. QT seems to thrive on this philosophy of building worlds which poke holes through the veil of art to show why they matter to him. The same could be said for Chazelle’s Babylon. Great observations here and I’m looking forward to more analysis on the metemodern movement.
Hey Thomas! Love the piece. Would strongly recommend reading about New Sincerity as a literary and filmic movement. Inspired by David Foster Wallace's piece "e unibus pluram" it encompasses a turn against irony and the bitter aftertaste of postmodernism and toward a softer more authentic experience. Artists involved include Wes Anderson, Cameron Crowe and Michael Chabon.
