Paul Schrader, 80, Trips on Ayahuasca and Dives into Philosophy for New Film
- What’s Inside: Paul Schrader’s new film, his “man in a room” style, and a wild trip at 80!
We just saw some wild news about Paul Schrader. You know him, right? The guy behind the intense vibe of Taxi Driver. Well, he’s back at the Venice Film Festival with a new movie called The Basics Of Philosophy.
This sounds like his signature style. Think “man in a room” stories. Like First Reformed or The Card Counter. It’s a whole mood. A certain kind of visual aesthetic, you know?
But here’s the kicker. At 80 years old, Schrader apparently took ayahuasca. And he’s talking about guilt. This film is really digging into some deep stuff. It’s like he’s tripping on philosophy itself!
The cast looks pretty cool too. Jack Huston, Sofia Boutella, Bill Pullman… it’s a lineup. We’re so ready to see what he’s cooked up this time. It’s going to be a trip, for sure.
Our Take
Honestly, we love that Schrader is still pushing boundaries. Taking ayahuasca at 80 and making a movie about philosophy? That’s pure artistic fire. It shows that age is just a number when you’ve got a brain buzzing with ideas.
