Reseña:

Suburbicon es un nuevo barrio de casas bajas y con jardín de finales de los años 50 en EE. UU. adonde cierta clase media urbana se ha mudado en busca de su promocionada tranquilidad y seguridad. Allí viven el pequeño Nicky Lodge (Noah Jupe, el notable actor de A Quiet Place y The Undoing) con sus padres Rose y Gardner (Julianne Moore y Matt Damon). Luego de que a la casa lindante con el fondo de la suya se mude una familia afroamericana, comienza una serie inesperada de incidentes familiares.

Cuando en los títulos finales uno lee que los coguionistas de esta película de George Clooney son él y los hermanos Cohen uno dice “ah, ¡claro!”).

Luego del prólogo con la mudanza de los nuevos vecinos negros, la película sorprende cambiando el eje y se centra en la familia Lodge y un incidente que sufre poco después, poniendo en movimiento un thriller típico de los Cohen, con personajes tomando malas decisiones, ramalazos de humor feroz, personajes despreciables y lo siniestro y la violencia apoderándose de todo.

La película inicialmente recrea la estética y el tono del melodrama de los años 50 para luego enrarecer y oscurecer el relato, apoyada en la gran banda sonora “de época” de Alexander Desplat, las actuaciones, que dan con el tono justo y toques hitchcockianos y de comedia negra. Una suerte de contracara de Lejos del paraíso de Todd Haynes (reforzada por la presencia en ambas de Julianne Moore).

Con este notable drama (cuyo título Suburbicon probablemente aluda al Necronomicon de Lovecraft), que se va deslizando hacia un thriller con toques de comedia negra, George Clooney procede a una implacable y por momentos bizarra demolición del sueño y de la familia americanos, transformándolos en una pesadilla. ……………………………………………………………………….

A relentless demolition of the American dream

Abstract:

Suburbicon is a new, low-rise, garden neighborhood from the late 1950s in the US where a certain urban middle class has moved in search of its touted tranquility and security. Little Nicky Lodge (Noah Jupe, the notable actor from A Quiet Place and The Undoing) lives there with his parents Rose and Gardner (Julianne Moore and Matt Damon). After an African-American family moves into the house next to hers, an unexpected series of family incidents begins. With this remarkable drama (whose title Suburbicon probably alludes to Lovecraft's Necronomicon), that slides into a thriller with hints of black comedy, George Clooney proceeds to a relentless and at times bizarre demolition of the American dream and family. …………………………………………………………………

Review:

Suburbicon is a new, low-rise, garden neighborhood from the late 1950s in the US where a certain urban middle class has moved in search of its touted tranquility and security. Little Nicky Lodge (Noah Jupe, the notable actor from A Quiet Place and The Undoing) lives there with his parents Rose and Gardner (Julianne Moore and Matt Damon). After an African-American family moves into the house next to hers, an unexpected series of family incidents begins.

When in the final titles one reads that the co-writers of this George Clooney film are him and the Cohen brothers, one says “ah, of course!”).

After the prologue with the new black neighbors moving, the film focuses on the Lodge family and an incident they suffer shortly after, setting in motion a typical Cohen thriller, with characters making bad decisions, outbursts of humor fierce, despicable characters and the sinister and violence taking over everything.

The film initially recreates the aesthetics and tone of the melodrama of the 50s and then darkens and darkens the story, supported by Alexander Desplat's great “vintage” soundtrack, the performances, which give the right tone and Hitchcockian touches. A sort of counterpart to Far from Paradise by Todd Haynes (reinforced by the presence in both of Julianne Moore).

With this remarkable drama (whose title Suburbicon probably alludes to Lovecraft's Necronomicon), sliding into thriller with hints of black comedy, George Clooney proceeds to a relentless and at times bizarre demolition of the American dream and family, transforming them into a nightmare. ……………………………………………………………………….
