With a shiny new Criterion Box Set getting released and on the heels of the “theatrical” runs of some new restorations, we look at Wong Kar-Wai’s film festival run and his work more generally. We have already talked HAPPY TOGETHER, so we focus in mostly on CHUNGKING EXPRESS, IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE, and 2046, with some brief FALLEN ANGELS talk and some references to his earlier movies as well. Use of color, focus in on relationships, and his depiction of time and place are all on the docket as we dive into the wonderful world of Wong.

Berlinale 2021 is in the books, so we talk over the winners and the buzz from this year’s festival. We’ve seen a few of the movies, and go most in-depth on Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s WHEEL OF FORTUNE AND FANTASY, including an interview with the director himself! It’s Berlin Wrap Up, baby!

Philippe Garrel’s THE SALT OF TEARS has departed the festival circuit and is now playing in virtual cinemas, so we took this opportunity to welcome back film writer and curator Jordan Cronk to talk the new release as well as look back at his history and some of his recent work. JEALOUSY, IN THE SHADOW OF WOMEN, and LOVER FOR A DAY, as well as his son Louis’ A FAITHFUL MAN are all touched on as we look at his style, his approach to character, and what an audience’s expectations are for these movies.

Its time again for a festival preview blowout, this time we are talking SXSW and Berlinale where we bring back our famous predictions segment! Also, to celebrate Ryusuke Hamaguchi's new film premiering at Berlin, we decided to talk about Asako I & II (00:46:21) and by "talk about" we of course mean that Cullen runs through the plot of the entire film.

With Sundance 2021 in the rearview, we take it back to look at two of the major releases from Sundance 2020 that are also writer/director first films, Radha Blank’s THE FOURTY-YEAR-OLD VERSION (00:02:06) and Emerald Fennell’s PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN (00:33:02). We are joined by writer and critic Caroline Siede to talk about theatre world satire, hip hop depiction, sitcom supporting actors, and revenge thriller subversions.
