Video: “Baby Driver — A Lesson in Storytelling”

An excellent 8 minute dive into the hit crime musical.

One of the biggest cinematic delights in 2017 is Baby Driver. Written and directed by Edgar Wright, the modestly priced crime musical — production budget a reported $34M — has generated worldwide box office revenues to the tune of $221M.

That’s some seriously good ROI.

Everything about it is great: Directing, cast, music, action, characters, an unbelievable amount of setups and payoffs. For a writer such as myself, the most satisfying aspect of Baby Driver is this: It’s got a good story.

This video, published last week by Jack’s Movie Reviews, does a good job analyzing some key narrative elements at work in the film.

Such an enjoyable movie and as the video points out, we can’t help but root for Baby and his plight.
