This week’s podcast is a slow swan-dive from arthouse bliss into a swamp of sleaze, starting – after a Question of the Week that baits the Oscars more than Stephen Daldry – with Victor Sjöström’s The Phantom Carriage. An inspiration to Ingmar Bergman and Stanley Kubrick, it still holds up nearly a century later.
Off the Shelf starts out well enough, with Billy Wilder’s sparky post-war rom-com A Foreign Affair from Eureka Masters of Cinema. Then Rob has the interesting task of reviewing an incest-themed chainsaw-wielding Turkish action movie. That’s White Fire, out on Arrow Video, before Sarah rounds off with Criterion’s Blu-Ray of Female Trouble. John Waters. Divine. You know what to expect.
