On this ep, NM is joined by filmmaker Eugene Kotlyarenko, who you may know as the director of 0s and 1s, Wobble Palace, Spree, and most recently, The Code, which stars Peter Vack & Dasha Nekrasova and is currently streaming on Mubi.
Like much of Eugene’s work, The Code understands itself both as entertainment and as cinema — cinema-in-a-time-when everyone is an editor, cinema-in-a-time-when content has become infinite, empty, a site of projection for viewers-turned-users. We talk about The Code on this episode and about the industry, about virality and authoritarianism, slop, identity, empathy. comedy, and success.
