We're diving into A24's Problemista, where MC Escher meets the U.S. immigration system in the tale of Alejandro (Julio Torres), an aspiring toy designer from El Salvador turned NYC art world intern. We'll unpack everything from the cultural significance of eggs in art to the Venice Biennale. Along the way, we'll explore works by Nicole Eisenman, Justin Liam O'Brien, Bobby Doherty, UPWA MVP Danny McDonald, Olafur Eliasson, and more! This film is a must-see for anyone who's survived—or been crushed by—an absolutely unhinged boss in their 20s. Give it a watch, then join us to unscramble this cinematic omelet.
