[EN] The White Ribbon: The Roots of Evil in Childhood
Join our discussion of the Haneke's "The White Ribbon", an expectably bleak but thought-provoking film. We talk about how we all were (predictably) emotionally invested in the romantic sub-plot, and also discuss what Haneke's ultimate point might be through his depiction of this German village in the early 20th century.

[EN] Human Traffic: The Lost 90s British Rave Culture
Today we discuss Justin Kerrigan's "Human Traffic", a delightful 90s gem. The film is full of charm and great comedy, even if sometimes it can be a little excessive with its MTV aesthetic; and we appreciate how despite its freewheeling party-focused nature, the film is very well structured and committed to the character development.

[PT] Nostalgia, Familia e Rádio em "Radio Days" (1987) - Ep. 147
Hoje discutimos "Radio Days", um filme de Woody Allen. Apesar de não ser dos mais populares do realizador, é um filme interessante e com um mood nostálgico muito forte, e gostámos da sua narrativa mais solta e episódica.

[PT] A Guerra aos Olhos de Jean Renoir em "La Grande Illusion" - Ep. 146
Hoje discutimos "La Grande Illusion", um filme anti-guerra de Jean Renoir. Achámos o filme único pela forma leve como retrata o campo de prisioneiros e como reflete sobre a diferença de classes entre os soldados e generais.

[EN] Palestinian Loss of Identity in “The Time That Remains” - Ep. 144
Today we discuss “The Time That Remains”, a film by Palestinian director Elia Suleiman. It’s a comedic and melancholic look at the the creation of the state of Israel and a reflection of what’s it’s like for Palestinians to live under occupation. Suleiman’s sense of humor and his mix of the personal with the historical are part of what makes the film so beautiful.
