My only Sundance movie

On Thursday, I went to see my “token” Sundance movie of this festival, and I'm glad to report that it was a very good one.

In a slice-of-life style, the documentary recounts one full year during which, director, camerawoman and one-person producer's Alison Klayman was basically granted full access to Steve Bannon during his post-Trump crusade.

The movie shows Bannon’s alibis for pushing a far-right agenda while keeping a straight face, from Brexit to Trump, the French “Yellow Vests” and the the right's big loss at the November elections.

It ultimately suggests that while if Bannon got lucky with Trump, carrying his nationalist and fascist gospel forward isn't easy, especially among Europeans, we might not get quite enamored by his rough, brutal style of communicating and his deep misunderstanding of cultures beyond his very own.
