Barbie (2023): Greta Gerwig’s Paradise Lost

Greta Gerwig’s Barbie is fantastic for so many reasons, but there was one idea that struck us particularly hard, and we couldn’t let it go. Enjoy this solo column-style episode from Cam, wherein he passionately argues that in making this film, Gerwig has delivered us perhaps the best modern adaptation of John Milton’s Paradise Lost in decades. Ryan Gosling’s Ken is the perfect Satan for 2023, and probably not for the reasons you think.
