Glass Onion: Architecture as stage and symbol

Glass Onion
After watching “Glass Onion.”

Daniel: Now, that must have been a dream film to pitch. A profitable predecessor, Knives Out, a star cast who wanted to be in on it.

Angela: A popular genre, a plot that recalls the best of Agatha Christie and a detective like Hercule Poirot.

Daniel: But not a slavish copy.

Angela: Not at all. The writers ran with it.

Daniel: And for the cast. Lavish setting, great place to party and go over the top with ad libs.

Voice-over

And a great set for critics to tease out the symbolism. A glass onion. The mysteries in plain sight peeled back. Next: The Glass Gherkin?
