Eddington
Synopsis
It’s May 2020. COVID is spreading around the world, and the town of Eddington, New Mexico, is the site of an increasingly fiery debate over the use of face masks. Entrepreneur and mayor Ted Garcia (Pascal) and the town’s sheriff Joe Cross (Phoenix) both enter the fray in opposition. When Joe decides to run in the next mayoral election himself, he sets in motion a quickly escalating series of devastating events. In examining this tiny town and its small population, Aster’s view and purpose is very much larger. With brilliant conciseness, Eddington touches on issues that so dominate American society and life – race, class, social media, technology, and guns. In what is sure to be one of the year’s most provocative and discussed films, Aster takes a long, hard look at his divided nation and sends a compelling and urgent warning signal to societies everywhere.
