Part two. We appreciate the commitment.

Herein lies the discussion of Andrew Dominik's triumph in visual and sound design: 'The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford'. This film not only redefines what it means to tell such a well-known story, it even grapples with the very act of storytelling itself.

In this episode we discuss everything from the landscapes to folklore, and of course, the tunes.

Right, guns up. Let's have it.

Do you have the time? 

Here's our review of Yorgos Lanthimos' new short, 'Nimic'.

Xxxxxxx

Here's our review of Roy Andersson's latest meditation on endless life, with its portrayal of the mundane and the monumental, the high and the low, all existing on the same level. 

Get those angels down to earth; get the folk up to heaven.

Everything is fantastic.

Here's our review of Mati Diop's recent short 'In My Room'. A smashing gem for our times. Tune in.

Back at you quick style with another review, and it's another Kaufman piece. 
We discuss in depth the recent gem to arrive on Netflix, 'I'm Thinking of Ending Things'. We have quite the film on our hands here.

Here we discuss Václav Marhoul's much anticipated adaptation of The Painted Bird. We cover everything from aesthetics to scent. The smell-o-vision is far from strong here.

This is the first episode of the Verses series, in which we bring several film from an auteur's catalogue in concert with each other. Here, we discuss Charlie Kaufman's Anomalisa and Synecdoche, New York.

In the second episode of Beginnings, we discuss Wim Wenders' 1987 Wings of Desire. This film meditates on time and human connection, and we make no attempt to avoid the BIG themes.

In this first episode of Export Film, we (Ben and Jack) discuss Mike Leigh's 1993 masterpiece Naked. This episode is the first part of a series in which we dive into the films which started our obsession with cinema.

There is no better place to start than with Naked.
