剧透警告:当这位电视界的魔术师搬去与Theranos公司的创始人及其家人同住时,他遇到了对手。
对于任何关注纪录片、喜剧或医疗欺诈领域的人来说,最近几周他们脑海中一直萦绕着一个画面:内森·菲尔德的一分钟片段。
No spoilers here – TV’s grand illusionist meets his match when he moves in with Theranos founder and her family For anyone remotely near the worlds of documentary, comedy or medical fraud, there has been one thing on the mind for weeks now: a single-minute clip of Nathan Fielder, the absurdist comedian whose boundary-pushing HBO series The Rehearsal cemented his status as docu-reality’s premier auteur, staring into the deep blue eyes of Elizabeth Holmes, the disgraced founder of blood-testing startup Theranos.
这位以突破界限的HBO系列剧《排练》而成为纪录剧领域顶级导演的喜剧演员,正凝视着Theranos公司名誉扫地的创始人伊丽莎白·霍姆斯深邃的蓝眼睛。两人近距离对视,毫无畏惧。‘你现在说的是真的吗?’
Unblinking, faces inches apart, the famously dry purveyor of harebrained business schemes and the convicted fraudster appeared locked in a battle of wills. “Are you being real right now?”
菲尔德问道,这一经典的反讽桥段让人不禁思考——菲尔德是否真的花了多年时间,与硅谷最臭名昭著的弃儿之一合作拍摄了一部秘密纪录片?
Fielder asked her, in a classically meta bit – could Fielder have spent years filming a secret documentary with one of Silicon Valley’s most notorious pariahs?
电视界的魔术师与象征性的女老板骗子之间的对决,这个故事听起来好得令人难以置信;菲尔德与当红新人兰斯·奥本海姆(其叙事长片《Primetime》由罗伯特·帕丁森主演,上个月首映)共同执导的这部纪录片,在纽约电影节首映时成为了今年秋季最抢手的门票。
The prospect of TV’s grand illusionist versus emblematic girl-boss scammer seemed potentially too good to be true; buzz for You Can See Everything, Fielder’s furtive documentary co-directed with wunderkind du jour Lance Oppenheim (whose narrative feature debut, the Robert Pattinson-starring Primetime, premiered last month) was such that access to the film’s New York film festival premiere on Wednesday became this fall’s hottest ticket.
