Fuds On Film

This month's commentary track is for Terry Gilliam's excellent 12 Monkeys, with the time travelling Bruce Willis on the trail of a deadly virus, or possibly just off his rocker. Join us! Well, for the first hour or so, then if we're honest we kind of run out of steam. Forewarned is forearmed.

The time has come for us to step into the future simultaneously with the past as we look at the intriguing Tech Noir sub-genre – science fiction content with Film Noir stylings, which hits upon some of our favourite movies and directors. We’ll give you the low-down on Alphaville, The Groundstar Conspiracy, Blade Runner, The Terminator, Ghost in the Shell, Brazil, 12 Monkeys, The City of Lost Children, Dark City, and The Thirteenth Floor, whether you want us to or not. Come, explore the retro-future with us!

It’s the second part of our French New Wave crash course, as we look at the works of those in the rather more loosely defined Left Bank group – Agnes Varda, Alain Resnais, Jacques Demy and Chris Marker. Are they any better than the Cahiers du cinema gang? There’s only one way to find out…

Tirez Sur le Pianiste.
Ne Tirez Pas Sur le Pianiste.
Shoot the Piano Player.
Shoot the Pianist.
Don’t Shoot the Piano Player. A movie with more names than Prince (rest his purple soul.) This offering claims to be a commentary track for Truffaut’s 1960 New Wave “classic”, but in all honesty we can’t back that assertion up with paperwork. Drew and Craig bring you coughs, heavy breathing and bizarre Czech state TV musical numbers from 1978 but, crucially, almost no insight into this movie. Bravo! Please note that this commentary is for the Criterion DVD release, and as such may run out of synch with other versions of the movie. Deal with it!

Join us as we look at some of the most notable works of the Cahiers du cinema group, try and uncover the reasons for their notability, and determine if they live up to the hype.

Settle down with your favourite fuds as we give you the skinny on The 5th Wave, Jane Got A Gun, Bone Tomahawk, Our Brand Is Crisis, The Assassin, and Zootropolis. For once we even have divergent opinions on most of them. It’s truly exhilarating.
