Listen to part 1 of our Port Eliot 2015 special. Dario is on Holiday so Neil is joined by filmmaker and academic Mark Jenkin to present and discuss John Boorman's 1967 classic Point Blank starring Lee Marvin. A massive influence on the likes of Steven Soderbergh the film is a lean and taut pulp crime thriller following Marvin's 'Walker' as he attempts to recover money stolen from him on a double cross. Point Blank was released in a zeitgeist year for crime cinema that also included Arthur Penn's Bonnie & Clyde, Jean-Pierre Melville's Le Samourai and Seijun Suzuki's Branded To Kill and it stands equal to those illustrious peers. This episode also features an interview with writer Tom Shone about his latest book Woody Allen: A Retrospective. Dario and Neil also make some announcements about the future of the podcast.
