New vs Old with Marek Maj

Historian Marek Maj and Vincent analyse three recent European films, that all tell a story of migration in Europe. From his passion for cinematography, Marek enlightens the audience on sound design, music, dialogue, scenery and character building - and also draws the question whether films are the best medium to tell stories of newcomers, resentment and relocation.The films discussed are 'As Bestas', 'The Other Side of Hope' and 'Western'.Marek’s Recommendation of this episode is the movie ‘Lazzaro Felice’ (Happy as Lazaro) from director Alice Rohrwacher. If this one is as good as the films we watched before this episode.... Go see it! The other films that Marek (positively) mentions, are: Le Havre (Aki Kaurismäki), Green Border (Agnieszka Holland), Fallen Leaves (Aki Kaurismäki), Io Capitano (Matteo Garrone), Toni Eardmann (Maren Ade) & The Old Oak (Ken Loach). --------------- Do you know what Panda-Diplomacy is?
