The Hollywood A-lister appears as one half of a couple looking to become home-improvement TV stars in the latest edgy series from experimental creator Nathan Fielder. It's inspired, writes Caryn James.
The Curse is as edgy, unsettling and smart as you'd expect from a series created by Nathan Fielder, the experimental creator of the recent quasi-reality show, and actor-indie filmmaker Benny Safdie, who star along with Emma Stone. The show is nominally a satire about a married couple creating a television pilot for a home-improvement series in the town of Espanola, New Mexico, not far from Los Alamos .
His wife is, at least on the surface, as breezy, unflappable and sincere as her husband is awkward and self-centred. But Stone lets us see that there is something synthetic about Whitney, whose depths and motives – and how she ended up with the unlikely Asher – haven't yet been revealed. Stone has quickly moved past Hollywood stardom to claim serious artistic credentials, with three projects at this year's New York Film Festival alone.
In the show's very first scene, we look through a window into a house where a mother and son are being interviewed, creating a voyeuristic sense that subtly creeps through the next episodes, with views through a mysterious peephole and on video monitors. A myriad of subplots weave in and out. There are jokes about small penises. Asher attempts to get incriminating evidence from a casino where he used to work, hoping to barter it with a local television reporter for better coverage.
