During a frantic monologue about youth and its transience, Sarah Snook swipes manically on a smartphone screen. Behind her hangs a screen showing excerpts from a selfie that she constantly changes with a filter app: her eyebrows are raised, her eyes are enlarged, and the corners of her mouth are unnaturally wide. When she reached the end of her speech, the screen showed the entire cell phone screen, and what you saw was grotesque. The face of the Australian actress, familiar to millions of fans of the television series “Succession” from countless close-ups, has transformed into that of a satyr – just as Oscar Wilde describes it in his novel “The Picture of Dorian Gray”.
