Alex Garland’s film Annihilation combines meditative storytelling with visceral body horror and action, all of which drew in AJJ frontman Sean Bonnette from the first time he saw it. So much so, in fact, that he couldn’t help but watch it over and over again while it was in theaters.
“That summer I saw that movie five or six times,” Bonnette explains on the latest episode of The Spark Parade. “Watching it the first time, I was blown away. I was very stoned, and I don’t know if that would have made a difference either way with just how great the movie is.”
Bonnette loved the movie’s juxtaposition of otherworldly natural beauty and startling bouts of extreme violence, all of which is set to an ambitious and unsettling score from Ben Salisbury and Portishead’s Geoff Barrow. A true film aficionado, the Bonnette also gushes about Alex Garland’s other works, including Men and Devs, as well as the singular cinematic vision of Everything Everywhere All at Once.
