The Yards with Collin Brinkmann

Conrado and Rachel are joined by Collin Brinkmann, author of Intimate Impressions: The Cinema of James Gray — the first monograph / critical biography on James Gray in English - to talk about Gray's second feature THE YARDS, a mournful crime saga starring Mark Wahlberg, Joaquin Phoenix and Charlize Theron. We talk about what makes Gray special, why he's so underrated as a filmmaker, and the problem-filled history of this movie's release.

Meet John Doe

Happy New Year! We're back with a regular episode of the podcast, with a forgotten Christmas gem from Frank Capra. MEET JOHN DOE was meant to be the "Mr. Deeds of 1941", but instead is a much more fascinating movie in which Barbara Stanwyck inadvertently molds Gary Cooper into the most popular and inspiring man in America.

S5 E1: The Spirit of the Beehive

We start the fifth season of The Criterion Project by talking about The Spirit of the Beehive (1973), one of the most acclaimed movies in the history of Spanish cinema. Set in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War, the movie follows a small girl named Ana who becomes fascinated with the mysteries of life and death after attending a screening of James Whale's Frankenstein. This was the debut feature by director Victor Erice, who after directing a trio of beloved classics, is finally returning to the big screen this year with 'Close Your Eyes,' his first movie in more than 30 years.

S4 E22: Grand Illusion with Eric McDonough

Conrado and Rachel are joined by Eric McDonough (of The Movie Shelf podcast) to talk about Jean Renoir's GRAND ILLUSION, a War World I prison escape movie that was, for a long time, considered one of the best movies ever made. Its status seems to have receded considerably in the last couple decades, but that doesn't make it any less influential, or any less entertaining.


Roger Ebert's Great Movies essay about Grand Illusion, which includes the odyssey of the movie's restoration print: https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/great-movie-grand-illusion-1937

S4 E20: Black Girl with Murtada Elfadl

We are joined by culture writer and critic Murtada Elfadl to talk about BLACK GIRL, the breakthrough film for director Ousmane Sembene, who is widely regarded as the "father of African cinema." Being the first Sub-Saharan African film to make a splash on the world stage, the movie was also a breakthrough for African cinema as a whole. This radical tale of a young Senegalese woman who immigrates to France to have her dreams of a better life quickly shatter before her eyes is one of only two African films to have been included in the most recent Sight and Sound poll of the best films ever made, and one of the most influential movies of our time.

The Criterion Project
With the start of the Criterion Channel, Rachel Wagner and Conrado Falco thought it would be fun, once a month, to talk about a film offered there.
