I've been waiting to watch #TheArtOfSelfDefense, it's finally on Netflix. Very much exceeded my expectations: I was assuming it was going to be a light hearted farce, but it's actually a pitch black comedy, tackling deeply serious themes too. Sexism, violence, victim blaming, abuse within martial arts schools, gun control, etc 👍 The martial arts bit is interesting: there's an element of the ridiculous and mockery, the sort of stuff you'd laugh about on Bullshido. However, it is done with a knowing wink, interspersed with jarringly solid advice (e.g., taking from whatever works, Bruce Lee style). 😎 There's even an ok RNC being taught (followed by a berimbolo later on). I'm therefore very curious to do some reading on both the film's genesis and critical reception. I'm late to the party (the film is from 2019), so I'm assuming there has been a decent amount of online discussion by this point. 😀 #SlideyFilm https://www.instagram.com/p/CMG8GZMJnfA/?igshid=115ggp9fs6fsa
