Cody Lightning’s directorial debut is a mixed bag with a meta-meta-ness that’s fascinating in hindsight
Recently, Indigenous artists have made great strides in taking control of the narratives being produced about Indigenous lives – past and present.– even though she didn’t manage to secure this year’s Oscar award for best actress, which went to Emma Stone.
Lightning’s personal life as a father to two children is also chaotic and adds to the actor’s downward spiral. A series of events leads Lightning to take on directing, which he describes as “a spiritual sequel.” Most of the film’s original stars don’t want to participate in Lightning’s personal redemption project. However, Lightning does manage to convince Simon Baker to reprise his role as his friend Thomas Builds-the-Fire.along the way. There’s a bizarre German investor who loves Adam Beach.
Indigenous identity and status have been the subjects of several media investigations in the recent past. Of course, Lightning is absolutely allowed his own perspective on a deeply complicated issue with no easy answers. Lightning’s take, however, is ultimately flippant whereas it could have been even more pointed.
