“George Orwell was one of the most radical and visionary authors of the 20th Century, whose 1940s novels, such as 1984 and Animal Farm, foretold a chilling, all-too-believable authoritarian future that has become scarily prescient in our modern era. Oscar-nominated director Raoul Peck (I Am Not Your Negro), working in collaboration with the Orwell Estate, seamlessly interweaves historical clips, readings form Orwell’s diary, cinematic references, and dynamic modern day footage to craft not only a definitive portrait of the writer himself, but an entirely fresh take on how remarkably relevant and prophetic his work has become. Featuring award-winning actor Damian Lewis (Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood) as the voice of Orwell.  A NEON RELEASE. (Dir. by Raoul Peck, 2025, France/USA, in English, 119 mins., Rated R)”

Orwell: 2+2=5

Carolyn’s note: Orwell must have known this era of Trump was coming. Read both “1984” and “Animal Farm” books recently, and they are chilling stories of tyranny and oppression. Also recommend Franz Kafka’s “The Trial”, for it’s bureaucratic absurdity.
