345 - Death on the Nile (2022)
Eavesdropping at the Movies - Un pódcast de Jose Arroyo and Michael Glass
Categorías:
The latest in a long line of star-studded adaptations of Agatha Christie's murder mysteries, Death on the Nile sinks without trace under the weight of Kenneth Branagh's all-consuming ego. Failing to understand that one of the pleasures of such films is the attention given to the impressive cast, he instead gives his focus entirely to his own performance as Poirot, engaging in mythmaking and heroics at the expense of everybody else. In its limited capacity, the focus on Poirot in Murder on the Orient Express worked for Mike - here, there's no defending it. Recorded on 21st February 2022.
