Beautiful People-- Comedically Suffering-- Karmically-Caused-- For "Two Weeks-- In Bruges-- Wichu?"

As another fantastic season of Mike White's The White Lotus (his third) comes to a blistering close-- I'm once again reminded of a particularly niche-in-specificity-- cinematic-subset-genre that I often find myself largely hankering for, drawing towards and returning back to. That of which I like to call-- "Beautiful People Being Utterly Miserable, While Totally Trapped In Paradise, & Comically Stuck On Vacation."

Who is John Bontecou? I always give a screenplay the maddest of props for coming up with the greatest of all character names. Both first and last. Something that I myself do in every single one of my own screenplays. We never see his face-- and we never hear his voice. We’re just told that he’s “A Big Deal” (not unlike Stone Henge), through the corporate grapevine. All the while slacking off by the proverbial watercooler. Don’t tell the boss on us, alright? In this case, said boss being Sir Anth
