Seen together, the three films tell the story of a world in transition—from one in which what was shared was private, to one where nothing could be private, to one where intimations of individuality reflect over the skins of customizable identity-bubbles that pass over each other like temporary Venn diagrams, but with more choke sex and cell phone interruptions (Boarding Gate, in fact, features watershed moments in both).

The salacious rumors swirling around the president-elect, including intimations that his actions are manipulated by Moscow, the inquiry into FBI Director James Comey's handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation, the congressional moves to repeal Obamacare, compounded by Donald Trump's bottomless ethical morass and the pandemonium that erupted at Wednesday's press conference when he shouted down a CNN reporter, have transported what we once considered to be reality into the realm of The Manchurian Candidate and House of Cards, if not Caligula.
