At the Venice Film Festival, acclaimed director Chloé Zhao participated in a career retrospective where she advocated for the artistic value of superhero cinema. She argued that comic-book adaptations should not be dismissed as lesser art forms, as they utilize universal mythic archetypes to help audiences navigate human experiences. Despite the commercial struggles of her Marvel film "Eternals," Zhao maintained that big-budget blockbusters and intimate indie dramas like "Nomadland" share a fundamental focus on the connection between people and nature. The filmmaker also reflected on her late start in the industry and her current existential questions regarding the time spent behind a lens versus living life. Ultimately, the source highlights her belief that all storytelling serves as a vital vessel for communal processing, regardless of its perceived prestige.
