Cloud Atlas (2012) — "Our lives are not our own. From womb to tomb, we are bound to others."

Six stories, five centuries and one of the most ambitious films of its decade. Yashar Pirasteh steps up to the Kulturecast mic for a conversation about Cloud Atlas, which he considers one of the most underrated films of 2012. Directed by Lana and Lilly Wachowski and Tom Tykwer from David Mitchell's novel, the film casts Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Jim Broadbent and Hugo Weaving in multiple roles across interlocking timelines. The conversation also points to Brad Kane's article on the film. Yashar Pirasteh takes the Kulturecast mic to talk Cloud Atlas, the Wachowskis, David Mitchell, and so much more.
