Cinema Styles: Inside crafts beauty from tragedy

posted in: All News, Coronavirus | 0

In mid-2021, filmmaker and stand-up comedian Bo Burnham released one of the most unclassifiable works of art in cinematic history. Appropriately titled “Inside,” the film was made over the course of the first year of the pandemic, with a particular focus on the quarantine. It’s equal parts confessional documentary, audience-less comedy special, theatrical performance art, and musical magnum opus. It’s a comedy special that sees the stand-up comedian often sitting down, sometimes even lying flat on the ground cuddled with a blanket around his head. It’s also the greatest work of art made so far about, and because of, the pandemic.
