52 US-Bundesstaaten plus Puerto Rico und Washington D.C., jeweils filmisch repräsentiert durch eine zweiminütige starre Einstellung. Zu sehen sind Berge und Täler, Flüsse und Seen, Wiesen und Felder, charakteristische Gebäude, Pferde, ein Autorennen. Ein Spiel mit Assoziationen, Klischees und Verweisen, befördert auch durch gelegentliche Text- und Songfragmente auf der Tonspur. Ein Porträt Amerikas und zugleich ein Update eines gleichnamigen, von James Benning 1975 gemeinsam mit Bette Gordon gedrehten Films? Am Ende eine Überraschung im Einklang mit Bennings Humor und seiner Erkenntnis, dass sich ein derart diverses Land wohl nicht so einfach in einem Film fassen lässt. (Lars Penning)
The object of this film is “America”, both as a space and as an idea. 52 shots are announced by the name of a city and a state. Each state has one, and so do Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. Every intertitle has its suspense: which fragment of this vast land will we think about next? But as the film moves forward, this suspense turns suspicious. Are these places real? Are the words tied to their objects? Accuracy becomes superfluous as the distance between the idea and its representation grows with the map.
In 1975, Bette Gordon and James Benning made THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, a seamless-looking, highly constructed cross-country road movie between New York and Los Angeles at the end of the Vietnam War. Years later, Benning revisits this and many other of his films in a landscape comedy and a location tragedy, with a map that ties the idea (America) directly back to its larger representational unit, while some ghosts appear as elements in the soundtrack, distant voices that remind us of struggles past and present. A few shots of the sky can make you cry in between, as heaven and hell were always located in California. (Lucía Salas)

In 1986, a young girl named Adelaide “Addy” Thomas watches a commercial for Hands Across America. One night at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, she wanders away from her parts and ters a funhouse, where she counters a doppelgänger of herself in the house of mirrors. Following the counter she stops speaking and withdraws from her family.
Years later, an adult Adelaide goes on vacation with her husband, Gabriel Gabe Wilson, and their childr Zora and Jason. She is apprehsive about the trip, but despite her misgivings, the family meet with their frids Josh and Kitty Tyler and their twin daughters Becca and Lindsey at the beach. On the way there, they witness paramedics taking away the bloody body of an old man holding a sign idtical to one she saw on the day of the doppelgänger counter. Jason later sees someone strangely similar to the old man, standing still with his arms outstretched and hands bloody.
Washington, United States Of America. 16th Feb, 2023. United States President Joe Biden Makes Remarks At A Screening Of The Movie “till,” In The East Room Of The White House In Washington,
That night, Adelaide tells Gabe about her childhood experice, but she is interrupted wh the lights go out. Jason notices a 'family' of four in the driveway, who soon gain try into the house. Cornering the Wilsons in their own living room, Jason recognizes the intruders as the Wilsons' doppelgängers. They include Pluto (Jason's pyromaniac, facially scarred double), Umbrae (Zora's sadistic double), and Abraham (Gabe's animalistic double). They are led by Red (Adelaide's double), the only one who can speak, albeit in a guttural and raspy voice. Red explains that they are called the Tethered” as they share a soul with their lookalike counterparts, and they have come to untether themselves. The Wilsons are separated and terrorized by their doppelgängers. Jason discovers that Pluto mirrors his actions. After Gabriel kills Abraham, the family escapes.
Meanwhile, the Tyler family is assaulted at home and murdered by their own doppelgängers. The Wilsons arrive and are assaulted as well, but they manage to overpower and kill the Tylers' doubles. They turn on the news and learn that the Tethered have be murdering their equivalts across the city and, after doing so, joining hands to form a massive human chain; surrounding the city so no one can go in or out. The Wilsons decide to drive along the coast and escape to Mexico. While they are leaving, Umbrae attacks the car, and is killed by Zora.
Arriving at the boardwalk, the Wilsons find the townspeople already slaughtered. The road is blocked by a burning car. Jason, realizing it is a trap set by Pluto, orders everyone out of the car. Before Pluto can ignite the family's car, Jason moves, so that wh Pluto mirrors him, Pluto walks into the burning car. While the Wilsons are distracted by Pluto burning to death, Red appears and snatches Jason away. Adelaide chases after Red to the funhouse where it all began. She finds a secret trance that leads to an underground facility overrun by white rabbits, and she finds Red in a classroom.
Air Force One (film)
Red tells Adelaide that the Tethered are actually getic clones created by other humans to control the originals on the surface. Wh the experimt failed, the Tethered were abandoned underground for gerations, mindlessly mimicking the actions of their counterparts and surviving on rabbit meat. After they realized that Red was differt from the others, she spt years organizing them to escape and take vgeance by murdering their counterparts. Red and Adelaide begin to fight, with Red evading and countering all of Adelaide's attacks. Wh Adelaide allows Red to attack, she impales Red with a fireplace poker, th strangles her to death and breaks her neck. She rescues Jason from a locker, and Jason also rescues one of the rabbits.
While Adelaide drives the family away in the ambulance, she thinks back to the night she first met Red in that hall of mirrors. She remembers that the clone had choked Adelaide unconscious (damaging her larynx, making her voice raspy and guttural-sounding), dragged her underground, handcuffed her there, and returned above ground to usurp Adelaide's place in her life, evtually learning to speak and adjusting to living as a human being—she is the Tethered clone, and Red was the original Adelaide. Jason looks at his mother, who smiles at him.
The Tethered have formed a human chain, replicating the Hands Across America demonstration, stretching out of Santa Cruz and to nearby cities as helicopters hover overhead.
Us Review: Jordan Peele's Horrific Take On A Self Destructing Country
Peele has said that an inspiration for Us was The Twilight Zone episode Mirror Image, which was ctered on a young woman and her evil doppelgänger.
Peele has also said that the idea of the tethered living underground came to him as a teager wh he would take the train home from work.
You get out of the train and you have to go down through an underpass and come out the other side. There's no one else there, just this dark, American town. I'd come up and I'd look over to the other side, and I'd picture seeing the tail d of myself going down that same tunnel, to presumably emerge right near me 30 seconds later. And I can't be se by that other version of me...It was a very scary day as I saw my double but I instantly knew it wasn't real and the idea popped into my head.
