Get Out
This Is Cinema Now: 21st Century Debuts
July 19 - 31, 2019
Jordan Peele’s Oscar-winning horror phenomenon gave American viewers a powerful racial allegory for the ages, sending Daniel Kaluuya’s Chris to a terrifying white suburban enclave that seems intent on capturing his body and soul for some unknown purpose.
Jordan Peele won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for this phenomenon about young New Yorker Chris Washington (Daniel Kaluuya) who accompanies his girlfriend (Allison Williams) home to meet the parents. The casual racism and falsely smiling social privilege that imbues her parents’ white suburbia turns from mildly suffocating to downright sinister as the weekend wears on, leading Chris to uncover an unimaginable dark secret about the community. In its elucidation of “The Sunken Place,” Get Out gave American viewers a powerful racial allegory for the ages, and confirmed the writer-director—and former comedy sketch star (Key & Peele)—as a trail-blazing voice for a new kind of American horror movie.
