“Destiny is calling.”
Sorry to Bother You (2018) unspools in an alternate Oakland where Cassius Green, a black telemarketer, stumbles upon a peculiar key to corporate ascension. This discovery catapults him into a surreal and sinister hierarchy, blurring the lines between personal ambition and moral compromise. Director Boots Riley's debut film is a brash, satirical odyssey through capitalism's dark heart, where the absurdity of racial tropes and the grotesque realities of power converge in a nightmarish carnival of commerce.
