The TVI Take
Rian Johnson's theatrical mystery releases (Knives Out, Glass Onion, Wake Up Dead Man). Each film demonstrates exceptional craft and formal intelligence about the mystery genre.
Glass Onion's structure is particularly elegant — the genre reversal is handled with complete control. Educational about the Agatha Christie tradition and murder mystery conventions.
