AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — “Civil War,” Alex Garland’s election-year provocation, debuted Thursday at the SXSW Film and TV Festival, unveiling a violent vision of a near-future America at war with itself.
“Civil War,” reportedly A24’s biggest budget release yet, is a bold gamble to capitalize on some of the anxieties that have grown in highly partisan times and ahead of a potentially momentous November presidential election.
The film, written and directed by the British filmmaker Garland (“Ex Machina,” “Annihilation”), imagines a U.S. in all-out warfare, with California and Texas joining to form the “Western Forces.” That insurrection, along with the “Florida Alliance,” is seeking to topple a government led by a three-term president, played by Nick Offerman.
Garland told the audience: “The film is intended as a conversation. It is not asserting things — I mean I guess it’s asserting some things… But it’s a conversation, and that means it’s not a lecture… A lot of the times, I was thinking about what can I avoid, what can I miss out and make it a sort of two-way exchange.”
According to the director, “Civil War” avoids delving into the expected politics often associated with a movie that draws lines between liberal and conservative states. The narrative also minimizes the broader context surrounding the conflict, instead concentrating on the daily experiences of a group of journalists striving to document the ongoing fighting. The film’s raw emotional impact is largely conveyed through its depiction of the United States as a battlefield filled with refugee camps and mass graves.
“Civil War” will open in U.S. theaters on April 12.
