Scene and Heard – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Jackie and Greg bear witness to the decadence and raging sexuality of a small English mining town for Ken Russell's WOMEN IN LOVE from 1969. Topics of discussion include the film's origins as an adaptation of D. H. Lawrence's classic novel, the quartet of characters at the center of the film, how it was cutting edge for its time, and why it resonates with Greg so much.

The continuation of our "Personal Prints" series where Jackie and Greg venture off the Sight & Sound list to explore films that are special and/or formative to them.

Jackie and Greg don their powdered wigs and dueling pistols for Stanley Kubrick's BARRY LYNDON from 1975. Topics of discussion include the film's origins as a Napoleon biopic, the lead performance from Ryan O'Neal, how its reputation has grown over the years, and why the public discourse needs to evolve beyond the look of the film (which, we agree, is stunning).

It's Greg's turn to pick the film and he goes for something very near and dear to his heart, Terry Gilliam's dystopian masterpiece BRAZIL. Topics of discussion include the film's visual and sonic design, its origins in Orwell and Monty Python, the subversive casting of Robert De Niro, the messy structure, and the film's torrid distribution story and how film critics ultimately saved the day.

Jackie and Greg return to the realm of the Archers to discuss another of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's biggest hits, A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH from 1946.

Join them as they try to put into words that magic touch that permeates all of Powell and Pressburger's best work.

Join Jackie and Greg as they dig into one of the seminal films from the arthouse boom of the 1950s, Ingmar Bergman's THE SEVENTH SEAL. Topics of discussion include the idea of the "pocket epic," Bergman's accessibility, the running theme of faith throughout his work, and why Max von Sydow was the dreamiest of all the sad blonde boys.

Jackie and Greg wrap up their string of silent films with perhaps the greatest of them all: Carl Theodor Dreyer's earth-shattering masterpiece from 1928. Topics of discussion include the constant use of close-ups, the various scores for the film over the years, comparisons to Robert Bresson's THE TRIAL OF JOAN OF ARC (and his distaste of Dreyer's film), and how Renée Falconetti's iconic performance is perhaps the greatest to ever grace the silver screen.
