Apologies have become all the rage in recent decades.The opening scene of Zoe Kravitz’s Blink Twice, in which the protagonist, tech tycoon Slater King, sits on the TV couch and says he’s “sorry” for committing an inexplicable crime, is a familiar scene. Pick a culprit, pick a year. The celebrity offers a ritual apology, retreats from the public eye for a while (in this case, to an island with chickens), and then returns,…
