CFCA member, film and television journalist Brian Tallerico stops by to talk about the critically acclaimed Korean director Park Chan-wook.  For this episode, we take a different approach and talk about his renowned, violent, existential revenge films, SYMPATHY FOR MR. VENGEANCE, OLDBOY, and LADY VENGEANCE.  We later expand upon a couple more of his other films as well. In addition, Brian talks about a couple of recent and upcoming releases particularly ZERO DARK THIRTY, Patrick talks about the incredibly well-acted THE DEEP BLUE SEA, and Jim reviews the much-discussed, critically acclaimed HOLY MOTORS.  Also, for a special treat during the first half of the show, we go over some of the nominees from the 2012 CFCA Awards. The winners are available to view here, with a ceremony on February 9th, 2013 to follow.

In about two weeks after Christmas, we may or may not be joined by a guest to discuss the silent film master Buster Keaton.  Please be sure to leave us a voicemail to play on the show as well at 224-366-9528. If you’re a movie blogger/podcaster and would like a guest spot on the show to talk about a filmmaker whose work you admire. Thanks again for listening and be sure to check out our updated upcoming schedule in the sidebar to see which directors we’ll be talking about soon!  Merry Christmas to all.  Questions are always welcome via email: [email protected]
