I'm putting this on my films to see list!
"There are no #Jews in Eddington, the #fictional small town in #NewMexico and the namesake of Ari Aster’s latest #film — a violent, rollicking western set in May 2020.
There are, however, #conspiracy theories. Tons of them. Lab leaks, Antifa, the deep state, Q-Anon — the citizens of Eddington are swimming in paranoia, and the common thread that connects all of their theories is #antisemitic conspiracy.
To be clear, Eddington, written and directed by Aster, who is #Jewish, is not an antisemitic film, and none of its characters explicitly express a hatred of Jews. It is a masterful #satire about what happens when technology exploits the already frayed civic bonds of a community besieged by the pandemic, trauma and grief. But the town of Eddington is awash in conspiracy theories that draw upon antisemitic #tropes."
