But as the title (taken from the Beatles song) suggests, there are layers upon layers to unpeel, yet the truth at the center is also crystal clear. As an indictment of the way extreme wealth corrupts, this whole exercise is pretty obvious, and it fits securely within a series of recent satires (“ Triangle of Sadness,” “ The Menu”) that aim at some easy targets, albeit with copious wit and style. He’s Connor Rooney in the 2002 adaptation of Road to Perdition, the graphic novel of gangsters during the Great Depression by Max Allan Collins. In the end, it was Daniel Craig who, armed only with what Johnson called “a light Southern drawl,” built up Benoit Blanc’s supersleuth persona. “It wasn’t like we changed the dialogue or changed the script or anything, but just Daniel inhabiting that role and bringing his vibe to it instantly brought it to life,” Johnson says. “ And no eye patch required, thank god.” At one point, Rian Johnson mulled having Blanc inexplicably speak in a different accent in each film.

The two Knives Out movies— Knives Out and Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery—are firmly in the tradition of Agatha Christie whodunits.

The verdict is clear for first-time crime writer Charlotte Vassell: murder mysteries are so popular now because they are an unbeatable way to scrutinise society. “A murder is an aberration of the social contract. So as a crime writer, you set up the part of society you want to study and then pull it all apart. We are all just nosey, really,” she said. Johnson says he was drawn to the humor of Hercule Poirot, Christie’s famous detective who appears in more than 30 of her novels, and also to the sociopolitical undercurrents that the author wove into her mysteries. “When Christie was writing those, she wasn’t writing these quaint little things set in the past. She wasn’t writing little nostalgic things. She wasn’t writing things that were contained and out of our world. She was writing to her time, and she was writing in the moment and she was engaging with her current culture.”

Johnson—a longtime advocate of physical media—also was hopeful, saying that even if it does not come to fruition, he will strive to make an audio commentary available in some form.
