Pod 366, Ep. 156: Dream Interview with Florian Frerichs ("Dream Story")

Director Florian Frerichs joins Greg and Giles this week to discuss his film "Dream Story" ["Traumnovelle"], based on the same 1926 source novel as Kubrick's "Eyes Wide Shut" and now streaming in the USA on Amazon Prime or Apple Movies. First, the hosts run through the week's new releases--A "Brotherhood of the Wolf" steelbook, Jesus horror "The Carpenter's Son" on DVD, and the early Katsuhito Ishii crime curiosity "Shark Skin Man and Peach Hip Girl," on Blu-ray for the first time in North America. They also take a brief look at what intrigues them in this year's Slamdance lineup. Then Florian Frerichs joins to discuss what made him want to adapt this story that's already been adapted multiple times, working with Klaus Kinski's son Nikolai, Berlin sex shops, and where to grab a bite if you happen to find yourself in Berlin. "Dream Story" ("Traumnovelle") is available to rent on Amazon Prime or Apple Movies.ERRATA*There are no general admission online passes for this year's Slamdance.*Tom Lee Rutter's movie is "The Pocket Film of Superstitions," not "The Pocket Book of Superstitions"
