Death to 2020
Directed by Alice Mathias, Al Campbell1h 11m2020
2020: A year so [insert adjective of choice here], even the creators of Black Mirror couldn't make it up… but that doesn't mean they don't have a little something to add. This comedy event that tells the story of the dreadful year that was — and perhaps still is? The documentary-style special weaves together some of the world's most (fictitious) renowned voices with real-life archival footage.
Our read: Death to 2020 (2020) reads as a warm, breathless, grounded comedy entry — gentle in intensity, mid-stakes in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook.
Warm, breathless, gentle comedy, grounded in texture. Nihilistic, mid-stakes, cold.
