Eric is back so it's time for him and Jason to dig into obscure masterpieces. Today the guys take on two brilliantly intense fils by British master Peter Watkins: Edvard Munch and The War Game. Eric fills Jason in on Watkins's long and well documented history of making avant-garde films, then the guys dig deep into two of the most highly serious but emotionally satisfying movies of their experience. The Munch film in particular has so much complexity and integrity to it that the film sets a standard for biopics that may never be reached again.

In this bonus episode of Cold War Cinema, Jason Christian is joined by the independent filmmakers Eric Marsh and Christopher Jason Bell, to discuss the films and legacy of the British filmmaker and media theorist Peter Watkins, who died on October 30, 2025, one day after his nintieth birthday. Watkins stands apart in film history for his bold cinematic vision, his innovations of the pseudo-documentary, and for his unflinching cinematic attacks on the mass media and authoritarian states. For these reasons and others, he has never been given his due in the academy or in popular culture. We discuss why this radical filmmaker is so important to us personally, and why his legacy should—and probably will—continue to grow.  _____________________ We love to give book or film recommendations on the podcast, so here are ours for this episode:  Eric recommends the film Bisbee '17 (2018, Robert Greene). Christopher recommends the film Revolution Selfie (2017, Steven de Castro). Jason recommends the book Future Revolutions: New Perspectives on Peter Watkins (2018, various authors). _____________________ Find Eric Marsh's films here.  Find Christopher Jason Bell's work here.

Punishment Park (1971) de Peter Watkins, (disponible en DVD, BluRay et sur certaines plateformes.) Tourné comme un faux documentaire, le film sʹinspire de l'application du McCarren Act, une loi d'exception votée en 1970 à la faveur d'une aggravation du conflit au Nord-Vietnam, autorisant à placer en détention "toute personne susceptible de porter atteinte à la sécurité intérieure". Dans une zone désertique du sud de la Californie, un groupe de condamnés est amené, contre la promesse de leur libération, à traverser le désert à pied, sans eau ni nourriture, pour atteindre le drapeau américain sans être capturés par les forces spéciales armées et motorisées lancées à leur poursuite. Le film le plus connu de Peter Watkins, décédé ce week-end à lʹâge de 90 ans. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLsNO8cQpaU Illusions perdues (2021) de Xavier Giannoli, avec Benjamin Voisin, Cécile de France, Vincent Lacoste, (en DVD, BluRay et sur certaines plateformes.) Jeune poète inconnu dans la France du XIXème siècle, Julien a de grandes espérances. Il quitte lʹimprimerie familiale de sa province natale pour tenter sa chance à Paris. Bientôt livré à lui-même, le jeune homme va découvrir les coulisses dʹun monde voué à la loi du profit et des faux-semblants. Une comédie humaine où tout sʹachète et se vend, la littérature comme la presse, la politique comme les sentiments, les réputations comme les âmes. Adapté de Balzac. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umiWu_sjRhg

Julian, Madeline, and Emilio continue their episode cycle on Audience Interrogation with a "Two-Shot" on Dan Gilroy's "Nightcrawler" (2014) and Alex Garland's "Civil War" (2024), and are joined for the conversation by Michael Cramer, professor of Film History at Julian's alma mater, Sarah Lawrence College. Looking at this surprisingly fitting pair of movies, the group begin by zooming in on "Nightcrawler" and discussing how Jake Gyllenhaal's unforgettable portrayal of a wide-eyed sociopath cements the film's parable about the ethics of procuring and propagating "newsworthy" footage. Then, jumping forward a decade, the group consider the similar questions posed by "Civil War" in its depiction of war photographers navigating the ruins of the United States in a fictional future conflict, along with the polarized reception of its narrative ambiguities. Michael Cramer is on the Film History faculty at Sarah Lawrence College and is the author of "Utopian Television: Roberto Rossellini, Peter Watkins, and Jean-Luc Godard Beyond Cinema," along with numerous scholarly articles on European Cinema and television. If you enjoy our podcast, please rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice.  This really helps us find new listeners and grow!Follow us on IG and TikTok: @sleeplesscinematicpodSend us an email at sleeplesscinematicpod@gmail.comOn Letterboxd?

Ep. 288: Mark Asch on David Lynch RIP, Best of Spectacle, Wicked, La Commune (Paris, 1871) Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. In memory of David Lynch (1946-2025), I rang up critic Mark Asch to commiserate and reflect on his work, both movies and other art. We were also originally going to talk about the world of noted Brooklyn microcinema Spectacle Theater, where Asch volunteers, so we do that as well, covering rarely shown works from Logistics to Hamburger Dad. We also address Wicked, which revisits the world of The Wizard of Oz in rather different ways from Lynch. Finally, Asch shares his experience of watching Peter Watkins's La Commune (Paris, 1871) at Anthology Film Archives.

Two enigmatic icons with enduring holds on the Western imagination are currently lighting up multiplex screens: fearsome Transylvanian vampire Dracula and Nobel Prize–winning American treasure Bob Dylan. Both released on Christmas Day, Robert Eggers's Nosferatu and James Mangold's A Complete Unknown are ambitious efforts at crafting new and absorbing tales out of these two mainstays of pop culture. Nosferatu stars Bill Skarsgård, Lily Rose-Depp, and Nicholas Hoult in the latest adaptation of Bram Stoker's novel, joining a cinematic canon established by filmmakers like F.W. Murnau, Francis Ford Coppola, and Werner Herzog. A Complete Unknown features Timothée Chalamet as the young Dylan, tracing his arrival in New York in 1961 to his set at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival, where he famously decided to “go electric.” On this week's Podcast, Film Comment editors Devika Girish and Clinton Krute invited Lovia Gyarkye, film critic at The Hollywood Reporter, and FC's very own Michael Blair (a Dylan aficionado) to debate the successes and failures of the two films—for both loyalists and neophytes of Dylan & Dracula. The group also discussed a few other Christmas Week releases, including Barry Jenkins's Mufasa and Rachel Morrison's The Fire Inside—and if you stay till the very end, you can also listen to their thoughts on Peter Watkins's monumental La Commune (Paris, 1871) (2000), which the Film Comment team viewed this past weekend at Anthology Film Archives.

In 2024, Scotland marks two big anniversaries: David I ascended the throne nine centuries ago and James I of Scotland began his reign 600 years ago. Both Kings played a role in shaping Scotland's ideas about its monarchy. How did David shape Scotland, and what relevance does the Stone of Destiny have - then, and now, as it returns to its native Perthshire? We look at the Scottish dream-vision, initiated by James I in writing Scotland's first love poem, sparking a new tradition lasting through the Renaissance and beyond. Anne McElvoy hears about distinctly Scottish ideas of Kingship.Kylie Murray is the author of The Making of the Scottish Dream Vision and a BBC Radio 3 AHRC New Generation ThinkerAlexandra Sanmark is Professor of Medieval Archaeology at the University of the Highlands and IslandsDonna Heddle is Professor of Northern Heritage and Director of the UHI Institute for Northern Studies at the University of the Highlands and IslandsWilliam Murray is Viscount Stormont and owner of Scone PalaceProducer: Ruth WattsYou might be interested in other Free Thinking episodes exploring Scottish history and writing including programmes about The Declaration of Abroath; John McGrath's Scottish drama, Tales of Scotland: A Nation and its literature with Janice Galloway, Peter Mackay, Murray Pittock and Kathleen Jamie; The Battle of Culloden - Outlander and Peter Watkins; crime writer Ian Rankin talks to Tahmima Anam.

In this episode, Ralph and Owen journey into the spectral wastes of British film, asking: what went wrong, and what is to be done? Through kitchen sink realism, folk-horror spooks, socially-engaged documentarians, materially-inclined avant-gardism, and more than a handful of oddballs, the situation seems as underwhelming as it was in 1927, when Kenneth Macpherson opined that “it is no good pretending one has any feeling of hope about it”. Ninety-seven years later, is the landscape still as dispiriting – and why did ‘we' never get our own New Wave – and why are we still stuck in the kitchen sink?

The vehement secularism all around us is no secret. I have seen its pointed perseverance in at least three settings recently, and most powerfully at my 50th Harvard College class reunion. In all three settings, 'God' was sedulously left out of the discourse, and, it felt to me, conscientiously. Nothing new in that, to be sure; but it made me reflect on the Christian Church, at least in its traditional manifestation, and what is it that "triggers" the sharp antagonism. But I came up with a slightly different answer. Had recently read John Weaver's book Evangelicals and the Arts in Fiction from McFarland Books, that wonderful publishing house which specializes in sincerest monographs on subjects such as the history of wax-museum horror films or 1940s Mummy movies. Weaver's book is counter-intuitive in the extreme, and contributes an insight that I have read nowhere else. So maybe we can learn from contemporary secularism, albeit from a different direction. The cast concludes with one of the most unusual Christian pop songs ever recorded, and filmed, from Peter Watkins' 1967 "anti-Establishment" movie Privilege, starring Paul Jones, the lead singer of Manfred Mann (i.e., "Doo Wah Diddy"). In brief, you can learn something about yourself by studying what others dislike about you. LUV U.

Pop Screen is going a bit off the beaten track this week, but rewardingly so. Peter Watkins is a maverick British director whose previous film The War Game was banned on the instruction of then-Prime Minister Harold Wilson, so when he was hired by Universal to make a teen-focused rock and roll film they probably expected something insurrectionary. What they might not have expected is for Watkins to train his satirical weapons on the pop world they were hoping to tap into, in this documentary-style tale of a singer whose popularity is exploited by a totalitarian government. The singer is played by Manfred Mann's Paul Jones, and the tunes are good enough for one of them to be covered by Patti Smith. That's just one of the many discoveries Graham and Mark make on this week's show, and they still have time for generous digressions about the voiceover in The Hateful Eight, the career of screenwriter Johnny Speight and what Volodymyr Zelenskyy might have learned from network censors. If you'd like some more of that - whatever the hell "that" means - we have a Patreon, which offers a monthly bonus episode of this very show as well as Graham's Doctor Who reviews, advance access to our other film podcast Directors Uncut, and more.

Chaque vision est singulière, porteuse de sens et de changement. Le but de ce format est de rassembler de nombreux artistes et que chacun nous délivre sa vision et son expérience de la photographie. Ce podcast a été auto-produit.  Pour nous soutenir : https://visionspodcast.fr/nous-soutenir/    La première fois que je rencontre Laura Henno, c'est à l'occasion de la visite de presse de sa nouvelle exposition, fin 2021, intitulée Radical Devotion, à la galerie Nathalie Obadia. J'arrive l'un des premiers. Je suis directement frappé par ces tirages de diverses formes, certains sont très grands, d'autres sont assemblés comme des polyptiques. Et ces photographies, la plupart du temps mises en scène, dégagent une certaine tension, notamment par le regard souvent frontal des sujets. Le temps semble s'être arrêté. L'artiste expose ici sa série encore en cours sur Slab City, « la dernière ville libre des États-Unis ».  Je m'interroge sur le titre. Une dévotion, c'est déjà un fort attachement et un geste radical. Pourquoi y ajouter ce qualificatif ? Et une dévotion à quoi ? À qui ? Une dévotion, c'est un moment d'amour inconditionnel, presque une transe. On se livre, on donne de sa personne, de son intimité. On aime aussi de manière sincère, on vénère parfois un dieu ou une figure, qu'elle soit religieuse ou non. Entre images fixes et en mouvement, Laura Henno s'attarde à montrer des personnes en lisière, à la marge, ou que l'on place à la marge. Des vies invisibles en somme. Des migrants comoriens, des adolescents fragiles, en passant par des mineurs isolés ou bien, plus récemment, par une communauté souvent « blessée », en autarcie. Ces sujets photographiés par l'artiste vouent une dévotion certes, mais à une certaine liberté. Au fait de vivre pleinement. Ou de vivre tout simplement.      À la suite d'études de photographie à l'ENSAV de La Cambre, Laura Henno s'initie au cinéma au Fresnoy. Lauréate du Prix Découverte des Rencontres Internationales de la Photographie d'Arles en 2007, l'artiste multiplie depuis les expositions en France et à l'étranger, à l'instar de son exposition à l'Institut pour la Photographie de Lille 2019, au Ryerson Image Center de Toronto, Redemption aux Rencontres de la photographie d'Arles en 2018, M'Tsamboro au BBB Centre d'Art à Toulouse en 2017, Summer Crossing au Centre Photographique Ile-de-France ou de son exposition au Finnish Museum of Photography à Helsinki en 2011. Lauréate du Prix SAM pour l'art contemporain 2019, Laura Henno bénéficiera également d'une exposition au Palais de Tokyo du 15 avril au 4 septembre 2022.     Dans ce grand entretien, l'artiste évoque tout d'abord son parcours, ses références. Beaucoup sont américaines. On comprend que les maîtres de la peinture et du cinéma, souvent documentaire, ne sont jamais loin de son travail initial. Il est évoqué son rapport singulier à la mise en scène et à la fiction. On parle également de son approche, qui a évolué au fil des ans. Une photographie, qui, comme elle le souligne dans le podcast, « s'est rapprochée au fil du temps de l'humain, de situations de vie existentielles ». Malgré une esthétique documentaire bien présente dans son travail, Laura Henno cherche toujours le pas de côté. En observant avec attention ses photographies, nous devinons que l'artiste cherche avant tout à dévoiler la part d'humanité, souvent imperceptible au premier abord, de ses sujets.     Puis, nous entrons doucement dans son univers en commençant par deux séries intimement liées : Summer Crossing et La Cinquième Ile. Suite à sa recherche aux Comores, qui explore la géopolitique complexe de l'archipel au travers de portraits de vie d'adolescents clandestins, de passeurs, Laura Henno tourne son regard vers Slab City, campement hors du temps, perdu dans le désert californien. Montrée pour la première fois à Paris, la série Outremonde, initiée en 2017 est remarquée par la critique aux Rencontres d'Arles en 2018, ainsi qu'à l'Institut de la Photographie en 2019 et au Bleu du Ciel en 2020, sous le commissariat de Michel Poivert.      Le résultat final ? Un podcast aux couleurs musicales : nous naviguons entre différents projets, descriptions de photographies, pistes de réflexion… L'artiste se plonge à corps perdu dans ses séries, aux côtés de ses sujets… De manière littérale parfois, comme à Slab City, où elle vit en immersion plusieurs semaines par an, demeurant dans sa caravane. Finalement, ne serait-ce pas Laura Henno qui voue une dévotion « radicale » aux arts visuels qu'elle pratique ? Nous ressentons en tout cas une passion communicative qui fait plaisir à entendre. Il ne reste plus qu'à vous souhaiter une agréable écoute.   Pour aller plus loin  Walker Evans, Robert Frank, Dorothea Lange, Diane Arbus, Stephen Shore, William Eggleston, Jeff Wall, Don DeLillo, Jim Harrison, Russel Banks, Toni Morrison, James Baldwin, Philip Roth, Édouard Glissant, Patrick Chamoiseau, John Akomfrah, Francis Alÿs, Steve McQueen, Mohamed Bourouissa, Wang Bing, Roberto Minervini, Peter Watkins, Gianfranco Rosi, FSA   Liens  https://www.instagram.com/hennolaura/  https://laurahenno.com/  https://www.instagram.com/podcastvisions/    https://www.visionspodcast.fr/

À l'occasion des 150 ans de la Commune de Paris, dernière révolution en date de l'histoire de France, on part sur les traces de ces évènements qui ont marqué les esprits, la capitale et son peuple parisien. Car du 18 mars au 28 mai 1871, pendant 72 jours, s'est jouée une tentative inédite de République démocratique et sociale, réprimée finalement dans un bain de sang, de siège en barricades, du centre de Paris à ses faubourgs, entre Versaillais et Communards.    150 ans plus tard, la mémoire de cette insurrection populaire et ouvrière divise encore et ravive les clivages politiques. Largement absente du récit républicain, des grandes commémorations nationales ou des manuels scolaires, il faut donc aller chercher cette histoire, à même le pavé parisien, afin d'en saisir les enjeux, les idéaux dont elle était porteuse et la répression dont elle a fait l'objet. C'est ce qu'a fait Sarah Lefèvre, de la Butte aux Cailles à la Butte Montmartre, des Tuileries au Père Lachaise, à la rencontre de celles et ceux qui entretiennent la mémoire de la Commune de Paris et cherchent à la conjuguer au temps présent. «La Commune de Paris n'est pas morte» : une série en deux épisodes de Sarah Lefèvre, initialement diffusés en mai 2021.   Pour aller plus loin : - À lire : - « La Commune de 1871 expliquée en images », de Laure Godineau, Éditions Seuil (2021) - « La Semaine sanglante », de Michèle Audin, Éditions Libertalia (2021) - « Paris 1871, l'histoire en marche, 21 circuits pédestres sur les traces de la Commune », de Josef Ulla, aux Éditions libertaires (2020)   - « La Commune, Histoire et souvenirs », de Louise Michel, Éditions La Découverte-Poche (2015) - « Souvenirs d'une morte vivante, une femme dans la Commune de 1871 », de Victorine Brocher, Éditions Libertalia (2017) - « L'Insurgé », de Jules Vallès, éditions Livre de Poche (1972).   - À voir : - Le film référence « La Commune (Paris, 1871) », de Peter Watkins, 2000.

À l'occasion des 150 ans de la Commune de Paris, dernière révolution en date de l'histoire de France, on part sur les traces de ces évènements qui ont marqué les esprits, la capitale et son peuple parisien. Car du 18 mars au 28 mai 1871, pendant 72 jours, s'est jouée une tentative inédite de République démocratique et sociale, réprimée finalement dans un bain de sang, de siège en barricades, du centre de Paris à ses faubourgs, entre Versaillais et Communards. 150 ans plus tard, la mémoire de cette insurrection populaire et ouvrière divise encore et ravive les clivages politiques. Largement absente du récit républicain, des grandes commémorations nationales ou des manuels scolaires, il faut donc aller chercher cette histoire, à même le pavé parisien, afin d'en saisir les enjeux, les idéaux dont elle était porteuse et la répression dont elle a fait l'objet. C'est ce qu'a fait Sarah Lefèvre, de la Butte aux Cailles à la Butte Montmartre, des Tuileries au Père Lachaise, à la rencontre de celles et ceux qui entretiennent la mémoire de la Commune de Paris et cherchent à la conjuguer au temps présent. «La Commune de Paris n'est pas morte» : une série en deux épisodes de Sarah Lefèvre, initialement diffusée en mai 2021.     Pour aller plus loin : ►À lire et à écouter : - Le blog de Michèle Audin, écrivaine française passionnée par la Commune de Paris - Le journal illustré de la Commune du collectif Raspouteam et les émissions thématiques diffusées sur Fréquence Paris Plurielle - «Paris 1871, l'histoire en marche, 21 circuits pédestres sur les traces de la Commune» de Josef Ulla, aux Éditions libertaires (2020) - «La Commune au présent, Une correspondance par-delà le temps» de Ludivine Bantigny, aux éditions La Découverte (2021) - «La Commune n'est pas morte, Les usages politiques du passé de 1871 à nos jours» d'Éric Fournier, aux éditions Libertalia (2013) - «Le Cri du Peuple», une bande dessinée de Tardi et Vautrin, aux éditions Casterman (réédité en 2021).   ►À voir : - Le film référence «La Commune (Paris, 1871)» de Peter Watkins, 2000. À visionner sur le site de la plateforme documentaire Tënk - Le film « Les Damnés de la commune», documentaire de Raphaël Meyssan, 2019.

In light of the Integrated Review this year, what other military reviews have there been and what was their impact? Peter Watkins (former Director General in the UK MoD) looks back at previous military reviews and discusses continuing themes. Peter Watkins became an associate fellow for Chatham House in June 2019. Before that, from 2014 to 2018, he was Director General (DG) in the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) responsible for strategic defence policy, including key multilateral and bilateral relationships (such as NATO), nuclear, cyber, space and prosperity (latterly this post was known as the DG Strategy and International). Previously he served as DG of the Defence Academy, Director of Operational Policy, Director responsible for the UK share of the multinational Typhoon combat aircraft programme and as Defence Counsellor in the UK Embassy in Berlin. He is a frequent participant in conferences on defence and security in the UK and overseas. He was awarded the CB (2019) and CBE (2004) for services to defence. He has an MA from Cambridge University.

Miscarriage of justice doesn't begin to describe the wrongs that have been done to the six men at the heart of Robert Greene's (“Bisbee '17”, “Kate Plays Christine”) pathbreaking, searing, and, ultimately, immensely healing, new documentary “Procession”. As boys, Joe, Mike, Ed, Dan, Michael and Tom each suffered sexual abuse, including rape, at the hands of Catholic Church clergy. As men, their cases have been dismissed or ignored. Partnering with Greene, they have now taken matters into their own hands, co-creating staged scenes in order to reclaim the spaces where the abuse took place and to confront the trauma that has plagued them into adulthood. Speaking to Mike and Ken from his home base in Columbia, Missouri, Robert describes how the practice of drama therapy inspired him to push his filmmaking in a bold new direction. He goes deep into the unique collaborative process that forged a powerful bond between the men and the film crew. And, as one might expect with a film as powerful as this, the conversation turns personal, with Mike sharing his own experiences as an altar boy in Burlington, Vermont. No doubt, the reverberations of “Procession” will be felt far and wide, like the church bell that Ed rings midway through the film. After years of living with trauma, it's finally his turn to be heard loud and clear.

En 1999, el director británico Peter Watkins filmó una película que recrea de manera bastante particular la insurrección parisina de 1871. Para ello, reclutó como parte del elenco a personas comunes y corrientes, a quienes pidió un intenso trabajo de investigación previa. “La Comuna” de Watkins derivó en un debate frente a las cámaras, respecto a los hechos de 1871 y las visiones políticas de la Francia contemporánea. Una cinta de casi seis horas que explora el efecto generado por la recreación del pasado entre los actores.
