In the last episode, Gerry and Sammy discussed films about trains - one of cinema's oldest subjects, and a topic which innately ties into cinema's essence of moving images. This episode, we're leaning in the other direction, toward isolated locations and still images. The films discussed are Here (2024), Robert Zemeckis' experimental melodrama from last year, and Contactos (1970), Paulino Viota's elusive, under-seen film which was made in secret during Franco's dictatorship in Spain. The two films provide much to discuss, both formally and thematically, with regard to spacial and temporal machinations. Contains spoilers for both films.
