DARK SECRETS: Weird absurdist but good | Rare Historical Photos

If you've been following Noah Baumbach's work over the past few years -- including The Meyerowitz Stories (2017), Marriage Story (2019) and most recently White Noise (all of which are now available on Netflix) -- it's clear the American director can work nimbly across a range of genres.

White Noise is a quirky comedy-drama based on the novel of the same name by Don DeLillo. It's set in an American suburb in the 1980s and involves characters who attempt to deal with the mundane conflicts of everyday life while simultaneously grappling with the universal mysteries of love, death and the possibility of happiness in an uncertain world. While I'm still processing what I liked or disliked about the film, or what to really make of it, White Noise is without a doubt one of the strangest movies you will ever see on Netflix.
