"Unveiling the Satirical Brilliance of 'Rotting in the Sun'"
Sebastián Silva's satirical thriller "Rotting in the Sun" blurs the line between reality and illusion fueled by social media. The film explores the love-loathe connection between Silva and Instagram influencer Jordan Firstman, reflecting the fascination and irritation with the social media-driven, hedonistic lives. However, the movie loses focus and edge when it shifts to a showdown between Jordan and Sebastián's housekeeper, leaving the film's point murky.
