Directed by Jordan Peele / Screenplay by Jordan Peele

The directorial debut of American actor and stand-up comedian Jordan Peele is one of those films that take both audience and industry unawares, planting its standard in virgin soil and establishing a new milestone in the evolution of the motion picture. Get Out is more than just a strikingly original, darkly funny and genuinely uncanny horror movie: it is also a trenchant commentary on racism in all its insidious forms, and a timely one at that, arriving just as the Black Lives Matter movement was gathering momentum in the United States. In his breakout role, British actor Daniel Kaluuya plays a young photographer whose white girlfriend (Allison Williams) invites him to a weekend getaway at her parents’ country house in upstate New York… and because Get Out is a film which it is impossible to discuss without spoilers, that is where we shall leave the plot, except to say that what follows is in equal parts horrifying, hilarious, and bitingly satirical. The howls of offended indignation that arose from some of America’s more conservative commentators (tellingly, one journalist chose to describe Get Out as ‘an Obama movie’) served chiefly to prove the film’s point; but for the most part, critics and audiences were united in their admiration. Get Out was nominated for four Oscars, including Best Picture, Director and Actor, and Jordan Peele became the first African-American to win Best Original Screenplay - an illustrious opening chapter in the career of a filmmaker whose subsequent pictures Us and Nope have cemented his reputation as one of Hollywood’s most formidable new talents.
