Episode 80 - Rat Film


Listen Later

Episode 80 of One Week Only! This week's key film is "Rat Film," an utterly unique documentary that explores the history of rats in Baltimore, and how it correlates to the city's legacy of racial and economic discrimination. Using historical research and modern visual technology, the film weaves a poetic but infuriating portrait of a city with deep rooted problems, rodent or otherwise. Now Playing at the Film Society of Lincoln Center. (36:20)
Carlos is currently attending the FilmQuest Film Festival in Utah, which screens the latest horror, fantasy & science-fiction indie films!
We also review the rural coming-of-age drama "Dayveon" directed by Amman Abbasi (11:35); the impressionist Holocaust documentary "Red Trees" directed by Marina Willer (17:10); and the Dominican Republican prison drama "Woodpeckers" (Carpinteros) directed by José María Cabral (26:30).
Hosted by Carlos Aguilar & Conor Holt. Music by Kevin MacLeod at www.incompetech.com
