  • Kubrick Series Was Great

    I’ve been listening through the Kubrick ones over the past year or so. Great to revisit one of the greats and get some new perspectives and critics on the guy’s works.

    Point is that podcasts are forever and I hope y’all don’t get discouraged because someone will eventually discover your hard work. Thanks for the company.

  • Thank you from Mr Renoir!

    Kieslowski, like Renoir or Tarr, changed my life with introducing film to me as a work of art. To find this pod is now as life changing. It’s a lonely life appreciating something that people around you don’t even know exists. I’m not alone now! Thank you. Muck / Mr Renoir of Cinema Renoir

Q: Do you feel like you got the full experience of what Varda was trying to do, or was this kind of a compromised version of her initial creation?
