‘I finally understand the machine that is Netflix’: how Security became an under-the-radar hit

Humorous Bones director Peter Chelsom had given up on Hollywood and went to Italy to make a low-budget thriller. To his – and everybody else’s – shock, it’s a worldwide hit

I've to confess that Netflix terrified me. As a viewer, in fact, I used to be hooked. As a film-maker, I used to be pretending to be cool about that incontrovertible fact that I had not been requested to hitch the get together. I’d solely directed movies for cinemas, by no means something for a streaming platform. I'm conscious of the countless debates. Is Netflix a drive for good? Are you in favour of the movement or towards? Vote sure or no.

The factor is, there isn't any “sure” in films. You may discover a Y in your wet-weather gear pocket on day three if you’re already a full day not on time. Or an E beneath your pillow if you get up the morning after the wrap social gathering with a hangover, and the flu that’s been ready to kick in. And there’s the S that sits prominently over the dangerous evaluations on opening weekend. (By some means, you solely see the dangerous critiques.) The result by no means meets the expectation, probably as a result of the expectation is rooted within the blind religion essential to maintain hauling your self away from bed each morning at 5am. There isn't any “sure” in films. Your life is a collection of disappointments.
