juxtapositional

The onstage mirrors are initially bookended with images of an antebellum plantation presented through two-way mirrors that, along with the oversized acrylic lyrics to the Rihanna song “Work,” act as a kind of juxtapositional frame for the first act and those watching it.

But it’s new in its juxtapositional structure.

From that work of art stemmed an abundance of montages of Guy eating set to juxtapositional songs.

But now it’s deployed as a juxtapositional joke—as when Eisenberg’s character, Mike, trembles and mewls after he skillfully snaps the neck of an enemy.

At times devastated, others baffled, still others strong and determined, the artist on "Vulnicura" offers nine songs, six of which move in chronological order through that juxtapositional end and beyond.
