DEFINITION RECOMMENDS… Katie Kasperson, senior staff writer, can’t stop thinking about Sorry to Bother You (2018) 48
film that’s stuck in my mind since I saw it, Sorry to Bother You is a black comedy – a visually bold and bizarre tale of late capitalism and the perils of chasing profits. The story centres around Cassius ‘Cash’ Green (LaKeith Stanfield) as he begins a job as a telemarketer and quickly ascends to ‘power caller’ status, which affords him a new lavish lifestyle. Writer-director Boots Riley – frontman for The Coup, who recorded the film’s soundtrack – supposedly
based the script on his own experiences in telemarketing (hopefully loosely). Riley first wrote the film in 2012, but its relevance has only grown thanks to the questionable decision-making from corporations across the world. The sense of humour won’t land with everyone, and I wouldn’t recommend watching it with your parents like I did. But my personal marker of a good film is one that lingers, and I expect I won’t be forgetting this one anytime soon.
