Cinema with Cyrus

In this episode I apply some in-depth analysis of the new Matrix movie. 

SPOILERS AHEAD

In this episode I go back to basics and talk about one of the foundations of analysing cinema: camera movement. What different movements are there, why they are used and what they can convey. I expand upon these points with examples you can go ahead and watch for yourselves.

In this episode I discuss the Spanish film "The Platform" which is currently on Netflix. It's got a lot of rich imagery and symbolism so was well worth a detailed look.

"What is the best Batman movie?"

This episode is all about mockumentaries, what are they? Why do people make them? And what do they say about us?

In this episode of Cinema with Cyrus, I am looking at the technique of Montage. The film theory behind it and going over numerous examples of how it can be employed in different ways.

Finishing off my Corona-cast series of looking at pandemic films comes my final review of the feature. For this episode I chose 2013's The Flu as something a bit different within the genre that most people would not have heard of.

Does it do the genre justice and is it worth watching? Listen and find out.

Continuing my Corona-Cast feature looking at pandemic films, I've made my way up to 2011's Contagion. Is this a film I think you'll want to catch or lockdown yourself to avoid? Listen and find out.

Hayoa Miyazaki is frankly one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. With his standalone feature films being put onto Nextflix recently, it was time I dedicated a whole episode to discussing this master of cinema and his work.

In this episode I talk about his wider themes and what makes his films so unique, alongside a brief discussion of each of his films specifically.

Enjoy.

Are you looking for someone to review contagion and pandemic films so you know whether or not to distance yourself from them?

Well you are in luck, because I'm doing just that with my Corona-Cast series.

This episode I review REC.
