  • [PT] As Viagens de Táxi Peculiares em "Night On Earth" (1991) - Ep. 96

    Hoje viajamos de táxi pelo mundo com o "Night on Earth" do Jim Jarmusch. Achamos o filme hilariante e estruturado de uma forma inteligente, em que há uma progressão no tom e ambiente de cada história, que se complementam e ao mesmo tempo contrastam.

  • [PT] O Peso da Rotina e dos Gestos em "Jeanne Dielman" (1975) - Ep. 95

    Hoje refletimos sobre a dificuldade e genialidade de "Jeanne Dielman", a obra mais celebrada de Chantal Akerman. É um filme desafiante pelo seu foco na rotina e nos gestos da personagem, mas sentimos que consegue construir uma tensão inesperada; discutimos também se será o melhor filme de sempre (e como isso pouco importa).

  • [ENG] A Strange, but Beautiful Film? - "The Strange Case of Angelica" - Ep. 94

    We dive into Manoel de Oliveira's "The Strange Case of Angelica", a peculiar little film from the celebrated Portuguese filmmaker. We have our different perspectives regarding the overly theatrical/literary acting style, and we argue about the intentional or unintentional comedic moments throughout the film. Despite everything, we all agree there's a lot of beauty to the film, especially regarding its ideas and visual style.

  • [ENG] How "Babylon" (1980) Portrays Britain in the 80s - Ep. 93

    We take a look into Franco Rosso's "Babylon", a gripping portrait of London in the 1980s. We discuss how detailed and fascinating all the characters are; the film's slice of life nature and how it captures the cultural and social context in a very honest and direct manner.
