Eugene Kotlyarenko's "Vintage Violence" delves into the chaotic realm of social media culture, using live-streaming as a central element.
The narrative follows obnoxious social media celebrity Carter, who is lured to Japan by promises of wealth from selling vintage denim he discovered online. This denim functions as a Macguffin, propelling the protagonists into a series of events.
The film features a distinctive chase sequence where Carter tracks a thief by the crackling of his stolen Bluetooth earbuds, highlighting the integration of technology into the plot.
While the movie references various cinematic styles and contemporary tech, its maximalist approach and cult-movie aesthetic can become enervating, offering a critique of the relentless present.
