When you're known for one thing—in the case of Franco-Greek director Costa-Gavras, the political thriller—despite having done a lot more than one thing, and your latest film (you're 86) is something a bit different, I suppose it's natural that critics may have trouble processing that. But it's still strange to me whenever paid audience members, whose job it is to watch films, don't seem able to actually see what's in front of them. In this case, that thing is Costa-Gavras's new drama, Adults in the Room.A theme that nearly all of the director's work has dealt with, and which he's been kind enough to explain in interviews, is the social trap: human beings make systems to organize their lives, and then become trapped by them. Whether it's money, or the legal system, or national boundaries—almost everything we've constructed to help our lives has become a trap at some point.
