Episode 2211 | The Illusion of FIU

In this episode, we into director Peter Ustinov's surprising choice to film his 1962 adaptation of Billy Budd without color, and his even more surprising explanation for why. We move into the critics like Ivor Montagu, who questioned why audiences so readily accepted a claim that seems to defy logic, and explore what it reveals about how we actually experience art versus how we think we do.
