“Trump Noir” is a raw and carnal,
unwholesome
crime melodrama film,
with cynical and sadistic, naive and cruel villains,
obsessed with obsessing,
surveillance,
betraying each other,
and fatally betraying themselves.
In this dark, stark, black and white,
pessimistic,
not for children story
where everyone is fu*****,
it is narrated with flashbacks by a former Trump supporter,
who is a Republican party traitor – on the run.
This movie is not a light hearted comedy or a happy-go-lucky musical.
It is a psychological grim thriller and a morbid drama morality play –
about the strange, ambivalent, tormented,
darker side of current day America,
that revels in violence, lives in the past,
and does not know it’s been duped.
