(Re) Encounters

Sam and Boris love films, books, TV, music and every form of culture you can name. The thing is that Sam has seemingly seen and experienced way more of it. Every time Sam finds out that Boris has no idea about a piece of media Sam thinks everyone knows about, Sam simply cannot contain his amazement. The two of them have decided to share (in podcast form) their journeys through and encounters with culture that one or both of them may be unfamiliar with. Their adventures will consist of discussion, analysis, trivia and reconsidering what really makes a piece of media culturally significant. You can look forward to hearing examples of their unorthodox senses of humour, love of completely useless information and capacity to deliver endless hot takes. To paraphrase Darth Vader - "They would be honoured if you would join them..." (hopefully that's one they've both seen).

05: The Peach Thief - a (Re)Encounter

On this episode of (Re)Encounters, Boris and Sam tackle what is considered a classic example of Bulgarian cinema, namely 1964's The Peach Thief, starring the "First Lady of Bulgarian Cinema", Nevena Kokanova, as well as the famous (and dashing) Rade Markovic. Our hosts discuss Soviet montage film techniques as well as often used tropes in film and literature, all of which inform the significance of this film not just within Bulgaria, but also beyond the former Iron Curtain. Ranging from topics, such as the First World War, appreciation of beauty and teleporting main characters, this is one film - and review - you don't want to miss! This episode opens on a question open to all listeners, so make sure to listen till the end to make up your mind and don't forget to send us an answer on Instagram (@reencounters) or via E-Mail at reencounterspodcast@gmail.com. Have fun listening and remember to always guard your orchard! P.S. Visit gledam.bg for more Bulgarian-language films with English subtitles!
