How John Malkovich Manipulates the Music in Opus
Briefly

In 'Opus', a reclusive pop star named Moretti invites journalists to his compound for a rare album preview, leading to chaos. The film, directed by Mark Anthony Green and featuring John Malkovich, explores themes of idolization and tribalism through Moretti's enigmatic persona. Ayo Edebiri plays a journalist entangled in the unfolding drama. Despite a tight budget and quick production schedule, Green managed to deliver a focused narrative that prompts reflection on the nature of celebrity and the artist's influence.
"Opus is a cautionary tale about tribalism, that hopefully causes us to ask some questions about the people that we idolize, beyond entertainment and art."
"When I started in films, just a regular film took like four months. And now it's 'Oh, how many scenes? 32. How many days of shooting? Three.'"
