In episode 23 we review how Denis Villeneuve uses suspense and dramatic tension in the prisoner extraction scene from Sicario to create an explosive shootout at the US-Mexico border. David's choice this week is from Nirvana in Fire [Langya Bang,琅琊榜], a TV series from China that is #1 on his all-time favourite list. This scene is a short example of how masterful this series is, and we break down exactly how costuming, script writing, acting, and excellent sound production all play a part in one of the best revenge stories ever written for TV and film.
