  • [ENG] Unhealthy Love and Obsession in "Chilly Scenes of Winter" (1979) - Ep. 57

    We take a look into “Chilly Scenes of Winter”, a layered and well observed romantic comedy by Joan Micklin Silver. We are particularly fond of the complicated portrait of the main character, as well as the smartly utilized flashback structure.

  • [ENG] Reflecting on Taiwan's Bloody Past - "A City of Sadness" (1989) - Ep. 56

    Today we discuss Hou Hsiao-hsien’s “A City of Sadness”, possibly his most defining film. Although some of its historical context was difficult to fully grasp for us, we still found it a beautiful film, particularly in how the patient and distant images work towards building the film’s strong but restrained emotions.

  • [ENG] How Good is Nolan's "OPPENHEIMER"? - Ep. 51

    Join our journey through Nolan’s “Oppenheimer”, a special film from one of the directors that made us fall in love with cinema when we were younger. We discuss the relentless rhythm of the editing, the flaws and complexities of Oppie, and we reflect on whether this film ranks higher or lower in the context of Nolan’s filmography. At the end, we also sneak a little commentary on Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” and why it might not have worked on its entirety for us.
