This week for our classics episode, Chris and Aruba watch tradition clash with modern times in Kinoshita Keisuke's Carmen Comes Home (1951). We talk this film's legacy as the first post-war colour film ever produced, the tonal clash of its musical numbers, the complex, nuanced portrayal of post-war feminine agency and independence at its core, and how much we just love the illustrious, force of personality that is Takamine Hideko's portrayal of the firebrand Lily Carmen.
