It Follows - How to Engage 'Extreme Content' as a Christian
from Cinematic Doctrine: A Movie Review Podcast Hosted by Christians · host Melvin Benson
Send us a Question!MOVIE REVIEW: In the first episode of Cinematic Doctrine, I review It Follows. However, due to the content of this film, I felt it important to elaborate on my thoughts about adult content in a narrative. Adult content can include sexual content, nudity, pervasive language, graphic violence, and anything that might seem overly uncomfortable. I also discuss how film as a medium is unique to other types of storytelling such as photography, books, etc. Afterward, I (finally) talk about some fascinating trivia regarding the production of It Follows and contemplate its themes both on what the film seems to be saying, and what David Robert Mitchell wanted to say when he conceived the project. If you'd like to hear only my thoughts on the film and not a mini-dissertation on adult content, skip to about 9 minutes in. I have tagged this episode as EXPLICIT due to the nature of the discussion and the rating of the film reviewed. It Follows is Rated R for disturbing violent and sexual content including graphic nudity, and language. It features Maika Monroe, Keir Gilchrist, and Daniel Zovatto. Directed by David Robert Mitchell. Tune in Wednesday nights for new episodes of Cinematic Doctrine!
