"Orwell: 2+2=5" is a documentary film, directed and produced by Raoul Peck. It follows the life and career of George Orwell, examining how his political observations remain relevant in the present day, particularly the lessons from his novel "Nineteen Eighty-Four." Damian Lewis narrates the film as Orwell. The film premiered at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival in the Cannes Premiere section, where it received positive reviews and was nominated for the L'Œil d'Or. Peck was kind enough to spend some time speaking with us about his work and experience on making the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which will be released in theaters on October 3rd by NEON. Thank you, and enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
