Movie Go Round

For this Movie-Ghoul-Round's Around the World, David picked the TIFF and Netflix sensation, The Platform (El Hoyo). In exchange for a degree to get himself ahead in life, Goreng volunteers for six months in the "Vertical Self-Management Center," a prison in which the residents are literally stacked on top of each other, with two inmates per floor and a vertical shaft where the food platform comes through for two minutes a day. Among many deep musings, David, Brett, and Nicole talked about the filmmaking, the less-than-subtle metaphors, the fascination with the dystopian prison genre, and whether it's possible for one person to fight an entrenched system.
