…Parasite! In this episode, we chat about the reception of Parasite and how its Best Picture win has impacted the industry in the last couple years. We also chat briefly about Roma, how it might have paved the way for Parasite, but why it ultimately didn't win.Let us know what you think and chat with us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/WTF_WithUsCheck out our YouTube channel for extended conversations and outtakes: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1O6GFhumzrq8qNBYZuF_1QTheme Music Credit: Ultra Lights by Stefan Kartenberg (c) copyright 2020 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial  (3.0) license. http://dig.ccmixter.org/files/JeffSpeed68/61225 Ft: Javolenus

In this episode, we chat about the rise of Korean culture in Western culture, including increased interest in k-beauty, Korean food,  and idol culture. We end the episode with a quick chat about the overall increase in Asian American perspectives in film and TV, and whether that was in parallel to or fueled by this new wave of Korean culture.References:USA Today “This is America: ‘Squid Game,' K-beauty and BTS - What's so special about Korean pop culture?”: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2021/10/21/squid-game-bts-k-beauty-why-korean-pop-culture-making-waves/8437852002/TIFF Summer of Seoul: https://tiff.net/tiff-celebrates-the-best-of-new-korean-cinema-this-summerLet us know what you think and chat with us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/WTF_WithUsCheck out our YouTube channel for extended conversations and outtakes: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1O6GFhumzrq8qNBYZuF_1QTheme Music Credit: Ultra Lights by Stefan Kartenberg (c) copyright 2020 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial  (3.0) license. http://dig.ccmixter.org/files/JeffSpeed68/61225 Ft: Javolenus

Is it truly a proper season of Eyre on Air if we don't watch a Gong Li movie? This week we're discussing the 1991 film Raise the Red Lantern, directed by Zhang Yimou and based on the book Wives and Concubiones by Su Tong. Important talking points include America's Next Top Model (Concubine), The Muppets (as usual), and the very realistic Chinese historical drama Emperesses in the Palace. Happy listening!

BBC推荐2021年豆瓣高分电影|2021 Douban High Score Movies Recommended by BBCDune《沙丘》 Now at last we have a big-screen Dune that may actually do justice to Frank Herbert's science-fiction novel. Directed by Denis Villeneuve, this is a somber, sweeping epic which runs for 155 minutes and still only covers the first half of the book. The budget is colossal, the crew is top-notch, and the cast is packed with big names, including Timothée Chalamet, Oscar Isaac, Josh Brolin, Zendaya and Dave Bautista. As space operas about psychic-powered young heroes on desert planets go, it may never be as popular as Star Wars, but, says Clarisse Loughrey in the Independent, "It is a film of such literal and emotional largeness that it overwhelms the senses of such intimidating grandeur that it's hard to believe it even exists in the first place."我们终于迎来了一部可以对得起弗兰克·赫伯特科幻小说原著的电影版《沙丘》。丹尼斯·维伦纽瓦导演的这部阴郁磅礴的史诗大片长达155分钟，但也只讲完了原著的上半部分。这部电影耗资巨大，演员阵容也十分强大，包括蒂莫西·柴勒梅德、奥斯卡·伊萨克、乔什·布洛林、赞达亚和戴夫·巴蒂斯塔等众多大牌明星。这部星际科幻电影讲述了关于荒漠星球上具有超自然力量的少男少女的故事，它也许永远不会像《星球大战》系列一样受欢迎，但是，正如克拉丽斯·洛瑞在《独立报》上的评论：“这是一部篇幅和情感都广博到令人震撼的宏伟电影，它的存在本身就让人难以置信。”The French Dispatch《法兰西特派》 Wes Anderson fans rejoice: the writer-director's 10th film is his most Wes Anderson-ish ever. In The French Dispatch, he takes his meticulous style to new extremes, so barely a frame goes by that isn't ornamented with a split screen, a freeze frame, a sans serif caption, a florid voiceover, or a switch between monochrome and garish color. Beneath all these elaborate quirks is an anthology of three whimsical short stories set in the fictional French town and supposedly drawn from the pages of a New Yorker-style magazine in the mid-20th Century.韦斯·安德森的粉丝欢呼吧，这位编剧兼导演的第十部电影是他迄今为止将个人风格发扬得最淋漓尽致的作品。在《法兰西特派》中，安德森将他细致入微的风格发挥到了新极致。几乎没有一帧画面是未经过雕琢的，不是运用分屏、定格、无衬线字体、词藻华丽的画外音，就是在黑白和艳丽色彩之间切换。在所有这些精巧的手法之下，这部电影讲述的是在一座虚构法国小镇中发生的三个怪诞小故事，据称这些故事选自上世纪中叶一本《纽约客》风格的杂志。Ron's Gone Wrong《天赐灵机》 The first feature-length cartoon from a new British studio, Locksmith Animation, Ron's Gone Wrong is a family comedy about the differences between social media and physical interaction. Its schoolboy hero, Barney, is given what seems to be the ideal toy, a shiny robot which is programmed to be his friend – assuming it works properly. The snag is that this particular robot, Ron, barely works at all. "Children want someone who agrees with them, who wants to play the same games as them… and that's the type of dream the technology world offers you," the film's co-writer and co-director, Sarah Smith, said. "And in our movie, Barney ends up with Ron, who's completely dysfunctional and broken, who doesn't agree with him and doesn't know anything about him, and they have to build this relationship from that point."《天赐灵机》是英国新动画工作室Locksmith出品的第一部动画长片，这部家庭喜剧片讲述了社交媒体和实体互动之间的差异。男主人公是一位名叫巴尼的男学生，他得到了一个貌似很理想的玩具——一个亮闪闪的机器人，程序设定为他的朋友，当然前提是这个机器人要正常运转。问题在于这个名叫罗恩的机器人根本不能正常运转。该片的编剧和导演之一莎拉·史密斯说：“孩子们想要的是能认同他们、和他们玩同样游戏的玩伴，而这是科技世界可以帮助实现的梦想。然而在我们这部电影中，巴尼得到的却是功能完全失调的、坏掉的机器人罗恩。罗恩既不同意巴尼的观点，对巴尼也一无所知，他们的关系必须从头开始建立。”Minari《米纳里》Lee Isaac Chung's autobiographical drama has had glowing reviews, but it has also been the source of controversy. Most of the dialogue is in Korean, so the organizers of the Golden Globes put it in the Foreign Language Film category. But Minari is also the tale of a US family working on a small farm in Arkansas in the 1980s, so some commentators have argued that calling its language "foreign" is outdated and insulting. Glenn Whipp in the Los Angeles Times says that the film "feels like a balm right now, a gentle, truthful and tender story of family filled with kind people trying to love one another the best they can. "李·以萨克·郑的这部自传式电影收获了热烈的好评，但也引来了不少争议。该片的大多数对话都是韩语，所以金球奖主办方将其归为外语片类别。但是《米纳里》也是一部关于上世纪80年代在阿肯色州一家小农场劳作的美国家庭的故事，因此一些评论人士表示，将其称为“外语片”不仅过时而且具有侮辱性。《洛杉矶时报》的格伦·威普称，这部电影“在当下能给心灵带来抚慰，这个温和、真实而柔情的故事讲述的这个家庭里都是全心全意爱彼此的善良的人。”The Courier《信使》Benedict Cumberbatch has been tipped as a potential James Bond, but in The Courier, he plays one of Bond's less glamorous real-life counterparts. In 1960, just before Sean Connery signed up to be 007, a salesman named Greville Wynne was recruited by MI6 and the CIA to carry Soviet secrets back from Moscow. In the film, his wife wants him to abandon this increasingly dangerous mission, but Wynne believes that only his espionage can defuse the Cuban Missile Crisis. Directed by Dominic Cooke, The Courier has a "fascinating" story, says Benjamin Lee at the Guardian, but it is Cumberbatch's performance that sells it.据传本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇是下一任邦德候选人之一，但在《信使》中，他饰演一个不那么迷人的间谍原型。1960年，就在肖恩·康纳利签约007系列电影之前，一位名叫格雷维尔·韦恩的销售员受雇于军情六处和中央情报局从莫斯科带回苏联机密。在影片中，他的妻子想让他放弃这个日益危险的使命，但是韦恩相信只有他的间谍行动才能化解古巴导弹危机。《卫报》的本杰明·李写道，多米尼克·库克导演的《信使》讲述了一个“引人入胜的”故事，但是让电影有看点的是康伯巴奇的表演。 colossal英 [kəˈlɒsl]；美[kəˈlɑːsl] adj. 巨大的；庞大的meticulous英 [məˈtɪkjələs]；美[məˈtɪkjələs] adj. 一丝不苟的；细心的；小心翼翼的whimsical 英 [ˈwɪmzɪkl]；美[ˈwɪmzɪkl] adj. 异想天开的；想入非非的；心血来潮的；滑稽可笑的snag英 [snæɡ]；美[snæɡ] n. 障碍；（尤指潜在的、意外的、不严重的）问题；突出物v. 抓住；（在带尖的东西上）钩住；挂破；抢先获得espionage英 [ˈespiənɑːʒ]；美[ˈespiənɑːʒ] n. 间谍活动；谍报活动；刺探活动

Why do we classify non-English language films as their own genre? What are the pitfalls of discussing foreign language films in one category? In this episode, Cheryl and Lara continue watching Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and chat about the competitive landscape of non-English language films. More specifically, we talk about how filmmakers within this category face challenges getting their films in front of viewers, film festival programmers and awards voters. References:Deadline “The 2021 Movie Awards Season Outlook: Weird-Case Scenarios Will Sweep All Categories” https://deadline.com/2020/12/oscars-awards-season-2021-outlook-calendar-oscars-1234661687/Theme Music Credit: Ultra Lights by Stefan Kartenberg (c) copyright 2020 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial  (3.0) license. http://dig.ccmixter.org/files/JeffSpeed68/61225 Ft: Javolenus

We had the incredible pleasure of sitting down with Sonia Nassery Cole, an Afghan American author, filmmaker, humanitarian, and activist who founded the Afghanistan World Foundation and directed film, “I AM YOU” (2019). “I AM YOU” is an independent feature film based on the stories of the world’s many refugees, their love for people and life, and the conditions that precipitated their extraordinarily heroic journeys. We get the chance to hear Sonia laugh and cry as she reflects upon the pivotal experiences that have put her on the path to touch so many lives through her activism and creative works. We move on to the childhood experiences that shaped who she is and the absolutely necessary traits to have as a filmmaker. Sonia also shares with us how she manages to pull out the most excellent emotional performances from her actors, and the KEY difference between an Oscar-winning performance and a failure. Next, we get into Sonia's incredible story of writing a nine-page letter to President Ronald Reagan at just 17 years old and the world-changing events that followed. Finally, we talk about her experience and challenges, especially as a woman, directing and filming in the war-zone of Afghanistan as well as what the film is about. Memorable QuotesMaking a good film"I want to make films about something I know about. I don't think people should make films or tell stories or write books about something they don't know. You have to know, what is your passion? What excites you? What makes you cry? What makes you feel? If I feel all those things, I promise you, I'm going to make you feel it.""The camera is a very sensitive instrument. You don't have to say a word. I look at your eyes through my lens and I can tell if you're lying to me or if you're really feeling something, and that's what makes the difference between a good movie and a bad movie - an Oscar-winning performance or a failure." Resources & LinksYou can see more of Baktash Ahadi's work here.Follow Baktash Ahadi on Instagram here.Keep updated on the latest episodes of "Stories of Transformation” here. Want to connect with Sonia?

This time, Force Fed Sci-Fi welcomes its first guest, Brian McLeod, to take a look at Robocop! During our review, we discuss how the character of Robocop himself actually accomplishes little to no police work, could technology offer a solution to areas infested with crime, and is Robocop worthy to get a statue in Detroit? Let's dig in….. Robocop (Original) Cast Directed by Paul Verhoeven: Born in the Netherlands, Verhoeven had a solid reputation as a filmmaker prior to taking on Robocop. His early collaborations with Rutger Hauer earned him worldwide fame and even earned an Academy Award nomination for Foreign Language Film in 1974. Robocop was Verhoeven's first major Hollywood film and was able to blend many complex themes together to create an entertaining and memorable story. Starring Peter Weller as Alex Murphy/Robocop: Prior to his casting, Weller was relatively unknown, but starred in the cult hit The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension in 1984. He was not the first choice for Murphy as Rutger Hauer and Michael Ironside were considered, but their large frames would not fit into the Robocop costume. Weller has since gone to have a respectable career appearing in films and television and has earned his Master's Degree in Roman and Renaissance Art as well as a PhD in Italian Renaissance Art History. Nancy Allen as Anne Lewis: While she does not have a ton of memorable credits to her name, she remained a consistent presence in the Robocop films and would go on to appear in this film's sequel as well as the third film even after Peter Weller left the franchise. It's unclear exactly of her feelings towards Murphy whether it's professional or romantic, but she offers a unique morality to the film as no one comes out smelling like roses at the end. Kurtwood Smith as Clarence Boddicker: Before he was known as Red Forman on That 70's Show, Smith turned in a rather convincing performance as this drug kingpin. Boddicker clearly has a bevy of mental issues including narcissism and megalomania and has a near total disregard for human life. Everyone around him is either a means to an end or they're just a target. The filmmakers have commented that making Boddicker an intellectual was intentional even down to the rimless glasses he wore as it made Smith look like infamous Nazi officer Heinrich Himmler Is Robocop a Good Cop? Any police officer will tell you that most of what is seen on television and film is dramatized. Most of the job is filling out paperwork as every stop and movement must be documented and cataloged. Robocop seems to not be familiar with these procedures. First, he just leaves his precinct without informing the Desk Sergeant where he's going or what area he plans to patrol. Second, he engages in both breaking up a convenience store lobby and an attempted sexual assault without returning to the precinct to fill out any sort of paperwork or arrest log. In addition, we don't even see him arrest anybody! One of our show's hosts, Chris, is pretty sure that the convenience store robber was also just left dead in the freezer as Robocop drops a cool one-liner and exits the store. Finally, Robocop has a clear disregard for due process. After he interrogates one of Boddicker's henchman, he breaks into a warehouse without obtaining a warrant and begins shooting up the joint. Not only would any normal cop be removed from patrol duty after a shooting, they would be assigned to attend some type of counseling to gauge how they feel after potentially taking a life. However, since Robocop isn't technically human, he has no need for this type of post shooting procedure. Behind the Scenes You might be surprised to learn that the original Robocop script was actually written with the violence in mind as the producers went through several choices for the director's chair before choosing Verhoeven. Several prospective choices wanted to tone down the violence and even Verhoeven was reluctant to t...

Welcome back to Double Feature, the IDS film podcast where the powers that be let us in a podcast booth to give you hot takes and maybe some lukewarm ones, too. Now that the dust has settled after the 91st Annual Academy Awards, this cursed Oscars season is officially over, with some mixed results. On this week's episode of Double Feature, hosts Annie Aguiar and Chris Forrester discuss the highs and lows of Oscars night. The most awarded film of the night was "Bohemian Rhapsody," with four wins, and the Best Picture award went to "Green Book" — two movies that have received criticism for both their messaging and the people behind the camera. Olivia Colman won Best Actress in a Leading Role for her portrayal of Queen Anne in "The Favourite," a surprising upset over Glenn Close's performance in "The Wife." Mexican writer and director Alfonso Cuarón won three Oscars for his film "Roma": Best Director, Foreign Language Film and Best Cinematography.

Our initial reactions to the 2019 Oscar nominations were a mixed bag. There was plenty to be hopeful about, but equally as much to be worried about with this year's nominations. Why didn't 'If Beale Street Could Talk' get much love from the Academy? What does Bradley Cooper's director snub mean for 'A Star Is Born' and its Best Picture odds? Did they forget that Justin Hurwitz exists after his work on La La Land? But, at least they pulled it together for Yalitza Aparicio! We discuss all of this, Best Picture chances, and more in this episode!Timestamps - (01:08) Picture (07:14) Director (14:15) Actress (16:58) Actor (20:10) Supporting Actress (23:08) Supporting Actor (26:50) Adapted Screenplay (29:14) Original Screenplay (31:29) Cinematography (35:07) Costume Design (38:04) Film Editing (41:24) Foreign Language Film (44:33) Makeup and Hairstyling (46:20) Production Design (48:48) Score (54:07) Original Song (57:14) Sound Editing (59:23) Sound Mixing (1:02:28) Visual Effects (1:06:21) Animated Feature (1:11:20) Documentary Feature (1:14:33) Animated Short (1:16:25) Documentary Short (1:21:09) Overall Recap and Best Picture Odds Discussion

Here it is. The FINAL Oscar nominations predictions podcast and, as usual, it's a big one.  I am joined by Next Best Picture's Will Mavity for this 71st Oscar Podcast and we dig in on how wild this season has been so far, with films being hit with controversy, the continuing chasm between critics and audiences and where we think the Academy is going to lean as a result. Predictions start off with Visual Effects and build up through the techs into the top 8 of Original Screenplay, Adapted Screenplay, Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress, Director, Best Actor, Best Actress and finally Best Picture. Regrettably, we didn't hit Animated Feature, Documentary Feature or Foreign Language Film but you can find those predictions at each of our respective sites. We spent time on the hows and whys of films like A Star Is Born, Green Book and Bohemian Rhapsody hitting the guilds and audiences whereas If Beale Street Could Talk not finding that same love. We also ask: will First Man become the most nominated film in the expansion era to not hit Best Picture? Can Barry Jenkins be a lone director nominee a la Bennett Miller? These details, utilizing guild nominations, box office, branch history and more help guide us through our predictions, with both Will and I making changes on the fly during our conversation.  This podcast runs 2h 23m with opening and closing music.  Closing music: "New York City By Day" by Thomas Newman from the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack of Desperately Seeking Susan.

The Movie Forums Podcast - The Square

The over-riding message from this year’s Academy Awards? “We’ve Learned Our Lesson!” Responding to the #MeToo movement and reports of erotic exploitation and sexism, presenters and Oscar winners frequently alluded to the scandal and made sanctimonious pledges to crack down on wrong-doers. After complaints in recent years about scant Oscar attention to people of color, numerous black and Hispanic celebrities appeared on stage and Latinos won some of the most important Oscars—including Best Picture, Best Director, and best Foreign Language Film. And after last year’s epic snafu with Warren Beatty announcing the wrong Best Picture winner, this year he received the right envelope. Despite such improvements, a long predictable ceremony, with no blockbusters in serious contention, yielded some of the lowest TV ratings in Academy history. Have the lessons really been learned? Time will tell.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The shortlist has been announced for the Foreign Language Film category of the Academy Awards! Suprisingly, all 9 films on the shortlist are fantastic choices: A Fantastic Woman (Chile), In The Fade (Germany), On Body and Soul (Hungary), Foxtrot (Israel), The Insult (Lebanon), Loveless (Russia), Félicité (Senegal), The Wound (South Africa), and The Square (Sweden)! It's also an incredibly diverse list, with 2 films from Africa, 1 film from Latin America, 2 films with LGBT stories, and 1 film with a female director! We react to this overwhelming list, discuss the so-called "snubs" of BPM and First They Killed My Father, and predict which of these films will end up getting nominated. Hosted by Carlos Aguilar & Conor Holt. Music by Kevin MacLeod at www.incompetech.com

Another segment in our "Awards Bound" series! A few weeks ago, we took a look at 30 contenders for the Best Foreign Language Film at the Academy Awards. Now, with the shortlist due to be announced this week, we choose our personal favorites to make the 9-film shortlist, and try to predict which films will actually make it. Fingers crossed for Foxtrot, A Fantastic Woman & Loveless! Hosted by Carlos Aguilar & Conor Holt. Music by Kevin MacLeod at www.incompetech.com

Awards Bound is our new series about this year's Oscar contenders, specifically those in the under-appreciated categories like Documentary and Animation. This week, we discuss the Foreign Language Film category, which has a record-breaking 92 submissions this year from around the world. Unfortunately, we can't talk about them all, so we break down 30 of the most notable films, from the heavyweight contenders like "A Fantastic Woman" and "Loveless" to the under-the-radar gems like "White Sun" and "Glory". Only 9 of these films will make it to the shortlist; which ones will it be? Hosted by Carlos Aguilar & Conor Holt. Music by Kevin MacLeod at www.incompetech.com

The Salesman and other films by Asghar Farhadi are examined in depth with guest Shahir Daud of The Only Podcast About Movies.

NPR film critic Bob Mondello joins the panel for a roundup of all the films nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature: I Am Not Your Negro, OJ: Made in America, Fire at Sea, 13th, and Life, Animated. Then they'll discuss The Salesman, Iran's entry into the best Foreign Language Film category. Plus, what's making us happy this week.

With two of the three major guilds (PGA and SAG) having announced their winners, Gold Rush Gang member Júlia and I break down what the winners mean in terms of the Oscar race. From the surprise wins for Hidden Figures and Denzel Washington (Fences) at the Screen Actors Guild to La La Land's march to an easy win at PGA, there's actually a lot to talk about. We start with the PGA and its correlation to Oscar's Best Picture and where we now see Hidden Figures in that race. Then it's on to Supporting Actor where we wax poetic on Mahershala Ali's speech (lots of swooning here) and Viola Davis (Fences) as she steamrolls through the season and her competition. Best Actress is next, where Emma Stone (La La Land) stands alone as the frontrunner but who is next - Portman or Huppert? I detail why Portman might not be the #2 people think she is and why I think she lost. Next is Best Actor, which threw us a big left turn. Is Denzel Washington the new frontrunner or was he all along? Finally, we talk at length about the win for Hidden Figures for SAG's top award. READ: 2017 Oscar Predictions - Post-Producers Guild, Screen Actors Guild We close with predictions for next weekend's Directors Guild of America (DGA) awards and the impact on the Foreign Language Film race from the Trump administration's devastating anti-Muslim ban in regards to Iran's The Salesman and its director, Asghar Farhadi. This podcast runs just over one hour.

Starring Adam Driver and Golshifteh Farahani, this is the new film by Jim Jarmusch, and it continues his interest in small stories with unique characters, and finding the beauty in every day life. It comes to theaters on December 28th, just before the end of the year. New updates in Awards Season! The Golden Globes nominations have been announced, and we look at some of our favorites, including "Elle" & "Neruda" for Foreign Language Film, and "My Life as a Zucchini" for Animated Film! We also review the historical anti-biopic "Neruda" about Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, directed by Pablo Larraín & starring Gael García Bernal; the new Pedro Almodóvar film "Julieta" based on the short stories of Alice Munro; Palme d'Or-winning social drama "I, Daniel Blake" directed by Ken Loach; critically-acclaimed German comedy "Toni Erdmann" directed by Maren Ade; and 1970's character drama "20th Century Women" directed by Mike Mills & starring Annette Bening.

Join us for a conversation with filmmaker Afia Nathaniel, whose feature film, "Dukhtar" was Pakistan’s official submission for Foreign Language Film at the 87th Academy Awards®. In a village in Pakistan, a young mother Allah Rakhi (Samiya Mumtaz) kidnaps her ten-year-old daughter Zainab (Saleha Aref) to save her from a child marriage to a tribal leader. Their daring escape triggers a deadly hunt for them. With the pursuers close behind, the mother strikes an unlikely deal with Sohail (Mohib Mirza) a cynical ex-Mujahid truck driver to take them to Lahore. Carefully dodging the far-reaching influence of the tribal leader, the trio embark on an epic journey through the sweeping landscape of Pakistan where the search for freedom and love comes with a price. After a rousing reception at Toronto International Film Festival 2014 and in over 20 countries since then, the critically acclaimed "Dukhtar" recently screened in New York and Los Angeles from Pakistan for its one-week theatrical release.

It's all in honor of the animated feature, "The Nut Job," the buddy cop comedy, "Ride Along," and the spy thriller, "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit." Rafer and Kristen also weigh in on the Oscar nominations, which were announced this Thursday.

"Run Lola Run" came out during a period when lots of unique and truly fantastic films were opening up in theaters. Luckily for Lola, it was equally unique and fantastic, ensuring that it didn't get buried. Tom Tykwer's wild film, so thoroughly infused with energy and style, took a simple tale of a woman trying to (quickly) raise money for her boyfriend to ensure he doesn't get killed by the gangsters for which he works, and gave it a philosophical bent when he decided to write it in almost a video game style where we see the same situation play out three times. It's an absolutely fascinating film to watch and a very easy film to enjoy. Join us — Pete Wright and Andy Nelson — as we continue our Foreign Language Film series with this thrill of a film. We discuss the nature of the film itself and the almost avant garde dreamscape nature of it, exploring what it was Tykwer was trying to say by making the film this way. We chat about what works for us and what doesn't, and look at one sequence in particular that ended up feeling more problematic than it has in the past. We talk about the performances, notably Franke Potente and Moritz Bleibtreu, and why they work so well for us. And we chat about the style, particularly the cinematography and editing, and how they help the film achieve this level of energy not often maintained as well in other films. We both love this film, despite some problems, and have a great time talking about it. Tune in! Hey! You know what would be awesome? If you would drop us a positive rating on iTunes! If you like what we're doing here on TNR, it really is the best way to make sure that this show appears when others search for it, plus, it's just a nice thing to do. Thanks!!
