It’s All Noise

WHITE NOISE

Stars Adam Driver, Greta Gerwig, Don Cheadle, Lars Eidinger Director Noah Baumbach

Hilarious, horrifying, lyrical, absurd but at the same time ordinary and apocalyptic, Netflix’s “White Noise” is adapted from

Don DeLillo’s 1985 novel and follows hotshot college professor Jack Gladney (Driver) relays the ordinary details of his world: a wife, four children, the daily campus grind. A random twist of fate plops a big black cloud in view of their windows, which pitches their kids into a frenzy of speculation, paranoia, and rationalizations and forces the Gladney family to evacuate. The agonising fear of death drives them through unending traffic to find some semblance of safety and happiness, only to be met with ludicrous normalcy in the strangely flawless and uncertain world.
