BEAU IS AFRAID (2023)

This is a trip of a movie and it is a long one at that so buckle up and bring snacks (no, not paint). Beau is Afraid and he damn well should be since the world is just sort of happening around him or to him but Beau is just kind of there. This is a little bit of an absurd comedy at parts but otherwise is just strange and weird to navigate.

⭐⭐⭐

(Trigger Warning Male Nudity, PTSD)

Beau lives in a dangerous neighborhood with scary as fuck neighbors (though there is always a maintenance man in the hallway who doesn’t give a fuck either way as if the danger doesn’t touch him somehow). He is supposed to go visit his mother but the keys to his apartment get stolen and he isn’t sure how to proceed. What ends up happening is that the whole neighborhood breaks in and they trash his place, poor guy. Next day he calls his mom and finds out she is dead, chandelier to the head. Beau is having a bad day to be sure and it is about to get even worse when he is in the bathtub and a stranger literally falls on him (with a recluse spider on him) and Beau runs out into the street naked. This leads him to get hit by a car and stabbed!

He wakes up in a girls bedroom being taken care of by the family that accidently hit him with their car, apparently the father is a surgeon so he stitched Beau up himself… No hospitals here, and nothing suspicious or weird about that! He is a low-key captive here with his injuries. They have a daughter Toni who is very mean to him and eventually she drinks paint because she is really upset and this kills her?! It was wack, all I can tell you. The family blamed Beau for her paint sipping and sent Jeeves, the PTSD veteran after him. Among the forest folk (a traveling theatre company) Beau finds some comfort/discomfort in the play he watches about the long life of a man he sees as himself. Then Jeeves arrives and kills a bunch of people, Beau escapes.

Finally making it to his mothers home, he just misses her funeral. He is just in time to see the casket and her made up body with no head though and notes the birthmark on her hand. Then a girl he used to know and love stops by and he has sex with her but she dies while finishing on top of him which scares Beau badly. At this point his mother comes out of hiding. Beau’s mom faked her own death because she thought that Beau was being a bad son. Wack and a half. She hired her maid to die in her place and when Beau actually got to the house he recognized the birthmark on the maids hand and knew his mother was alive. They have a very terse conversation before mother drags Beau into the attic and…

Y’all. What? What did I just watch? Why was there a giant dick and balls monster? Is this a serious movie to be taken seriously? Apparently it is a horror comedy but to what end because that thing is just too much. Okay. So. In the attic, there is his brother who has been locked up there for years and, yes, you guessed it, a GIANT DICK AND BALLS MONSTER who happens to be Beau’s dad. Also Jeeves comes back but the dad kills him, so, thanks? I guess? Anyway, Beau leaves the attic because, I mean, duh. And then his mom is mean to him some more and he tried to strangle her. He says he is sorry but the shock from it kills his mom.

Then we are in a Truman Show-like world where Beau is being held in some cosmic court for his crimes against his mother. Richard Kind is there, not being very kind at all, telling him off for every even slightly naughty thing he had ever done to a crowd of spectators. Beau begged and pleaded but these fell on deaf ears. The trail was rigged. The movie ends after Beau is found guilty and is sunk for his transgressions against his mother. A somber end to a weird film.

The first half is entertaining and even insightful, but it kinda wears out and ends on a sad note. I think (part of)the lack of catharsis comes from the story deviating from its promised love story at the start.

Landscape with Invisible Hand is a 2023 American science fiction film written and directed by Cory Finley, based on the 2017 novel of the same name by M. T. Anderson. The film stars Asante Blackk, Kylie Rogers, and Tiffany Haddish.

"Beau is Afraid"

A wonderfully weird, polarizing film that stretches the outer limits of neurotic self-indulgence. It's both too abstract yet packed with clunky metaphors and overt symbolism, but it strikes gold and finds success more often than not.

Artists often use their work as an outlet to wrestle with their personal demons and the more haunted corners of their psyche, and “Beau is Afraid” is like a long, distressing therapy session for writer-director Ari Aster. His film about a fortysomething paranoid man named Beau (Joaquin Phoenix) who embarks on an epic odyssey to get home to his mother (Patti LuPone) is self-indulgent to a fault.…

[twenty-words-or-less]

Beau Is Afraid

Summary: Beau Wassermann (Joaquin Phoenix) does everything he can to make his way to his mother's (Patti LuPone) funeral after her apparent death.

Aster’s Babylon in terms of scope, length, departure from previous style(s), and difficult commercial appeal. Nice break from fire, though.

Rating: 3.25/5
