Today's episode is my conversation about the 1928 film Tempest. My friend Amanda Kusek from The 90-Minute Movie newsletter joins me to discuss the film and we talk about the nature of shifting character dynamics throughout a film, how we see historical events through the lens of film, and almost being able to hear the voice of an actor from his performance on screen even in a silent film.

You can watch Tempest on You Tube and be sure to check out Amanda's newsletter.
