This Month’s Highlights
Agatha Christie Presents: The ABC Murders
Amazon continues to import the BBC’s crush of lavish Agatha Christie adaptations with a new take on the classic mystery that casts John Malkovich as famed detective Hercule Poirot on the hunt for the killer only known as A.B.C. This latest adaptation — the novel was previously adapted in the ’90s series Poirot and in the 1965 film The Alphabet Murders — leans into Malkovich as an provocative pick for Poirot, while giving the 1936 novel three full episodes in which to really breathe. Available February 1.
Generation Wealth
The latest documentary from director Lauren Greenfield (who directed the acclaimed 2012 doc The Queen of Versailles) attempts to turn her career-long focus on wealth into a grand thesis statement on our society. And folks, it’s not one that’ll make you feel very good. Generation Wealth is a dispatch from Rome moments before its fall, a chronicle of the one percent fiddling while the fires rise around them. Definitely not a good movie for a relaxing night in, but one still worth watching — ironically on the streaming platform owned by one of the world’s richest people. Available February 1.
