Euphoria Season 2 Star Reveals Her Favorite Episode 4 Movie Homage Scene
Warning: Spoilers for Euphoria season 2, episode 4.
Euphoria star Hunter Schafer reveals which movie montage from episode 4 was her favorite. In season 2, episode 4 of the HBO teen drama created by Sam Levinson, trouble continued for the characters. Cal (Eric Dane) revealed some difficult truths to his family and, on another front, the fraught love triangle between Cassie (Sydney Sweeney), Nate (Jacob Elordi), and Maddy (Alexa Demie) escalated to new heights. At least for a little while at the beginning of the episode, however, Rue (Zendaya) and Jules (Schafer) get to experience a bit of imagined happiness.
At the start of episode 4, in classic Euphoria fashion, viewers are treated to a playful and stylized montage that shows Jules and Rue recreating classic moments from some of the most famous romance movies of all time. Some of the scenes that are glimpsed include Titanic, the animated Snow White, the 1990 hit Ghost, and Brokeback Mountain. Zendaya and Schafer put their own spin on each of these seminal classics, delivering their performances with giddy excitement. It helps to set the stage for episode 4’s devasting ending, as Jules learns the truth about Rue’s relapse.
