Deep Cut: A Film Podcast

This episode we’re discussing the “godmother of the French New Wave” herself, Agnès Varda, and her two films: Cléo from 5 to 7 (1962) and One Sings, the Other Doesn't (1977).  We discuss Varda's incredible ability to make you empathize with her subjects, her approach to depicting women and their relationships, and unfortunately butcher the pronunciation of a few French names and words... Varda passed away recently in 2019 and we miss her presence dearly, but at least her incredible films will live on forever. SPOILER WARNING for both films.

In our very first episode, we’re discussing Hirokazu Kore-eda and his films: the Palme d’Or winning Shoplifters (2018) and After-Life (1998).  Kore-eda is one of our favorite filmmakers, and one that brought the 3 of us together! We discuss his humanistic filmmaking (one of the best in the biz),  figure out which movie is better (they're both great!) , and diss Spielberg a little (in good fun). SPOILER WARNING for both films.
