Review of Thirteen Lives (2022) by Mauro_Lanari — 06 Aug 2022
(Mauro Lanari).
Howard made the event spectacular by adding details, actors, subplots, folklore, bombast, and emptied it of the metaphysical core that on the contrary was central in "The Cave" (Waller 2019): it is deleterious to have stars act instead of the protagonists of the story, who know how to communicate to us for direct experience what they lived in there and down there, an existential disorientation. The images shot by Howard do not know how to express it and the director takes refuge in didactic dialogues.
Ps: during the end credits Wikipedia is cited as a primary source, while it cannot be by definition, since it is based on reliable third-party sources.
