ADOLESCENCE

Premiering on Netflix on March 13, director Philip Barantini’s highly anticipated Adolescence is a four-part drama series shot in a single take. With a script by Jack Thorne, the unblinking story unfolds with the arrest of 13-year-old Jamie Miller (Owen Cooper) for the murder of a female student, thrusting his family and law enforcement into a tailspin of grief and uncertainty.

Barantini joins critic and Galerie contributor Kaleem Aftab to discuss the production and dig into the challenges and rewards of capturing the series’s unique cinematic temporality.
