June 07, 2022 A Day in the Country (Partie de campagne) [1936]
Jackie and Greg return to the Seine for their third consecutive film set along a river, Jean Renoir's famously unfinished A DAY IN THE COUNTRY (PARTIE DE CAMPAGNE) from 1936. Topics of discussion include a chat on mid-length movies (the film runs 41 minutes), the male gaze, why the film went unfinished and what's missing, and whether Renoir intended the assault at the center of the film to be troubling or romantic -- is it THE VIRGIN SPRING or A ROOM WITH A VIEW?

May 17, 2022 Brazil [1985] // Personal Prints
It's Greg's turn to pick the film and he goes for something very near and dear to his heart, Terry Gilliam's dystopian masterpiece BRAZIL. Topics of discussion include the film's visual and sonic design, its origins in Orwell and Monty Python, the subversive casting of Robert De Niro, the messy structure, and the film's torrid distribution story and how film critics ultimately saved the day.

Jackie and Greg take on Sergei Eisenstein's landmark silent film from 1925. Topics of discussion include Eisenstein's montage theory, the Kuleshov effect, the film's origins as a piece of Soviet propaganda, and how the Odessa Steps sequence is probably the most iconic in all of cinema.

May 03, 2022 A Matter of Life and Death [1946]
Jackie and Greg return to the realm of the Archers to discuss another of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's biggest hits, A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH from 1946. Topics include the use of Technicolor, Jack Cardiff's legendary photography, the film's contrarian stylistic choices, the British-American relations at the origin of the film, and how it’s basically the British version of IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE. Join them as they try to put into words that magic touch that permeates all of Powell and Pressburger's best work.

Jackie and Greg take on Federico Fellini's autobiographical fantasia from 1963. Topics of discussion include surrealism, the genesis and far-reaching influence of the film, Fellini's divisiveness as a filmmaker, artists calling themselves out in their work, and a discussion of meta movies in general.

April 19, 2022 The Seventh Seal [1957]
Join Jackie and Greg as they dig into one of the seminal films from the arthouse boom of the 1950s, Ingmar Bergman's THE SEVENTH SEAL. Topics of discussion include the idea of the "pocket epic," Bergman's accessibility, the running theme of faith throughout his work, and why Max von Sydow was the dreamiest of all the sad blonde boys.

April 12, 2022 The Passion of Joan of Arc [1928]
Jackie and Greg wrap up their string of silent films with perhaps the greatest of them all: Carl Theodor Dreyer's earth-shattering masterpiece from 1928. Topics of discussion include the constant use of close-ups, the various scores for the film over the years, comparisons to Robert Bresson's THE TRIAL OF JOAN OF ARC (and his distaste of Dreyer's film), and how Renée Falconetti's iconic performance is perhaps the greatest to ever grace the silver screen.

April 05, 2022 Un Chien Andalou [1929]
Jackie and Greg take on Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí's surrealist cannonball from 1929 that sent shockwaves throughout the art world. Topics of discussion include the film's origins; how Buñuel miscalculated his audience; id, ego, and suppressed human emotions; and and how the dreamlike imagery literally has no meaning. Join them as they talk excitedly about eyeballs, ants, and armpit hair. With a 16-minute runtime, this is the shortest film on the Sight & Sound list!
