#TheAtlantic— For a #lavish and #expensive #epic about #1920s #Hollywood, Damien #Chazelle’s new #film, #Babylon, introduces itself about as #scatologically as possible. In its first sequence, a harried gofer named Manny Torres (played by Diego #Calva) tries to transport an elephant into the #Hollywood Hills for a big-shot #producer’s party, a #farcical #task that ends with the #elephant #pooping on the camera #lens—in a way, on the #viewers #themselves.
