Cinematic theatricality, queer anachronism and The Favourite / Ilia Ryzhenko
Article - English -
Considers how theatricality is used in Yorgos Lanthimos’s ‘The Favourite’ (2018). Suggests that the film’s anachronistic elements and exaggerated theatricality serve not only to acknowledge the misogyny and homophobia of the time but also to focus on the present of the audience and its own injustices.
