Ep. 62

It's time to look at ugly things through a beautiful lens, which means it's time for 1989's The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover.

Sophie & Mitch talk about this grimy movie and what make it so intriguing to watch. We talk about the distance style creates between an audience and a piece of art. We discuss how presenting crass or vulgar content can serve a greater purpose. It's a loaded conversation for a dense film!
