2019 Tokyo International Film Festival, Part II: "Jojo Rabbit," "Disco," and "Advantages of Traveling by Train" - LPH016
On this episode, Iain, Maria, and Marcus continue their discussion of the 32nd Tokyo International Film Festival. They begin with "Disco," a provocative Norwegian drama about a young woman growing up within an evangelical church, before moving onto a live-action adaptation of Tezuka Osamu's manga "Barbara." They then examine Iranian film "Old Men Never Die," and Turkish allegory "Food For a Funeral." Next, the panel discuss two crime dramas with a social conscience: cops and robbers on the streets of Tehran in "Just 6.5," and Italian coming of age drama "Nevia." Finally, the team reviews Taika Waititi's much-anticipated "anti-hate satire" "Jojo Rabbit," and daring Spanish comedy "Advantages of Traveling by Train." Links to some of the things discussed this week: As always, this episode contains mild spoilers.
