The Cinematic Now

<p>Numerous recent movies have been charged by an immediacy of anxiety, as many of the same feelings from the world-at-large have made their way onto our movie screens with an alarming speed and connection. Mark Olsen (<a href="http://twitter.com/IndieFocus" target="_blank">@IndieFocus</a>) is joined by Times film reporters Jen Yamato (<a href="http://twitter.com/JenYamato" target="_blank">@JenYamato</a>) and Tre'vell Anderson (<a href="http://twitter.com/TrevellAnderson" target="_blank">@TrevellAnderson</a>) and film critic Justin Chang (<a href="http://twitter.com/JustinCChang" target="_blank">@JustinCChang</a>) to talk about his current phenomenon and what we expect from our movies, what they can do to inform, explain or even distract us, taking in a broad range of titles from "Monsters and Men," "Fahrenheit 11/9," "Assassination Nation," "The Lie," "Suspiria" and others to get some sense of our Cinematic Now.</p>
