November 2012 Watershed Podcast

In this episode: Mark Cosgrove on Michael Haneke's extraordinary and moving, Palme D'Or winning, Amour – coming to Watershed this month. For Mark Amour raises questions more broadly around perfection in art and explores why for him Haneke's film represents artistic perfection in cinema. Also discussed is the upcoming The Master, dubbed by some as 'a new American classic', which Mark looks forward to assessing in terms of his contention that a certain strand of American cinema is only concerned with itself, is self-referential and isolated.
