Here’s the last brand new episode of season one. The rest will be Patreon migrations with extended new bits at the end, and we couldn’t have picked a better director for this – Karel Zeman.
Now, I appreciate this director may not be immediately recognisable. Still, you can bet he has influenced some of your favourites in Terry Gilliam, Wes Anderson and Tim Burton plus Walerian Borowczyk if you are so inclined. This is our first delve into the catalogue of cult UK label, Second Run, and our first dip into Eastern European Cinema.
Joined by Film Researcher, Jonathan & Graham (POP SCREEN) – the first film we look at is Invention for Destruction, a loose adaptation of the work of Jules Verne. The Second film is Krabat, the Sorcerer Apprentice – an obscure adaptation of Slovakian Folklore.
Then in the final section, we discuss some newer films that we’ve been watching including Death of a Vlogger (2019), 1900 (1976) & The Maidens of Fetish Street (1966) and more.
Till next week with Mark Duplass, this is Directors Uncut!
