Rear Window (1954) 04/16/2021

Rear Window (1954) This is Alfred Hitchcock’s fiftieth film. As Hitchcock preferred, this film was shot entirely on a sound stage and is set wholly within Jefferies’, the protagonist’s apartment. /episode/index/show/thefilmlist/id/18755555

In the Mood for Love 03/02/2021

In the Mood for Love Using syrupy-smooth slow motion, deep, reassuring colors, and a gentle hypnotic soundtrack, the ever nostalgic, undyingly romantic Wong Kar Wai blessed the world with In the Mood For Love. /episode/index/show/thefilmlist/id/18163328

Invasion of the Body Snatchers 02/18/2021

Invasion of the Body Snatchers Today we discuss the film Invasion of the Body Snatchers. On the surface, this film is a 50’s sci-fi flick about invading aliens. As with many science fiction films, especially at the time, it can also be interpreted as a metaphor for something else. Although most of the creators of the film claim no political intentions, many saw it as having an anti-Communist or anti-mccarthyist message. In any case, the film serves as an allegory for the loss of individual thought and identity in any system. /episode/index/show/thefilmlist/id/18004835

Mad Max: Fury Road 01/27/2021

Mad Max: Fury Road In this episode, we discuss what many critics have deemed one of the best action movies of the last decade, Mad Max: Fury Road. Mad Max creator George Miller, successfully revived the old action franchise of the ’80s. Shot in sequence in Australia and Africa, Miller did over 80% of the film's stunts and effects practically. CGI was mainly used to enhance landscapes and remove stunt rigging. /episode/index/show/thefilmlist/id/17708174
