Not quite as late in coming as Monday’s blog post, but still a bit behind the times, but as some of you readers may recall from back in January, I am a Moon Knight fan.
Moon Knight went through several versions even during the time I followed the comics — and I knew that this adaptation would likely use some newer sources. I also hoped the adaptation would speak to the here and now in interesting ways… because the 70s concept of Egypt and “Orientalism” just would not work well.
So I was intrigued to learn that director Mohamed Diab has found an interesting way to be relevant, and a bit subversive, with the soundtrack. Give the article a read and the soundtrack a listen. The behind-the-scenes doc on Disney+ is also a fun watch.
