Byzantium

This week, we're checking back in with our old friend Neil Jordan for 2012's Byzantium, in which Gemma Arterton and Saoirse Ronan play mother and daughter vampires eking out a living in an English coastal town. Listen as we ponder such questions as: are vampires played out as a narrative concept? Does this movie function as an earnest feminist counter to its sex-centered marketing? Is this movie an attempt to better execute the core ideas behind Jordan's previous film Ondine? Is Caleb Landy Jones Good in this? What's going on with Caleb Landry Jones' Wikipedia page? What's going on with this movie's Wikipedia page? What going on with Chris Columbus' Wikipedia page? The answers to these questions, and more, can be found within. Hosted on Acast.
