This week on The First Run, Chris and Matt discuss the latest by the French husband and wife directing team, Hélène Cattet’s & Bruno Forzani’s  ‘Reflection In A Dead Diamond’.  Known for the striking visual storytelling style, this time they tackle the euro-spy thrillers. Is it a wonderfully mad mash-up of visuals and narrative?  Or unintelligible mess?  Plus, Chris shares his thoughts on the proposed Netflix/Warner Bros. merger.  And there’s news about a certain impossible to find 4k steelbook.  All this, and more!
