Episode 226 - Festen + more
from The Stacks Hosted by j. the curator
This week on The Stacks, in part one (0:00-1:31:12), we talk about Thomas Vinterberg's blackly comic and emotionally intense 1998 Dogma 95 feature Festen (aka The Celebration), in addition to the tenth episode of American Horror Story season 1 ("Smoldering Children"). In part two (1:31:13-2:39:59) we talk in shorter form about 8 additional features: Steven Spielberg's 2002 sci-fi action dystopia Minority Report, Hisayasu Sato's 1994 AIDS crisis pink film Love - Zero = Infinity, Bill Plympton's twisted, free-wheeling 1997 independent animated feature I Married a Strange Person!, the 1983 Chor Yuen Shaw Brothers Superman wuxia knockoff Descendant of the Sun, the 2012 Bruce Davison Asylum/SyFy collab Bigfoot, the 1977 Bill Lustig comedic hardcore The Violation of Claudia, the expansive 2012 Wachowskis & Tom Tykwer novel adaptation Cloud Atlas, and Sidney Lumet's odd, self-indulgent Motown musical The Wiz. In part three, we talk briefly about everything else we've watched since last time, and make our picks for next week, continuing our annual resolutions month.
