#46: "BABYLON" (2022): The Unrequited Love Story

We're back, baby!! To kick off the first episode of 2023, we are diving into "BABYLON" (2022) Damien Chazelle's latest, most controversial film, starring Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie and Diego Calva, as a bunch of dreamers who ride the wave of Hollywood's transition from silent film to talkies, which also marks the end of the depraved and decadent world that it once was. In this episode, we discuss many of the true historical origins of many of the "Babylon" characters, the book "Hollywood Babylon," the original "Babylon" script, and the polarizing ending. Episode notes can be found here.Follow Cinematic Breadcrumbs on Instagram here.Hope you enjoy!
