Cinema Spectator

reSunset Boulevard (1950)

Revisiting a film for the second time on this show is a first, but Cameron and Isaac thought it would be great way to assess a "casuals" response to cinematic exposure. Our Sunset Boulevard conversation revolves around revisiting films, finding new things to appreciate, and dissecting some of its excellence with the previous context of Wilder movies. This is not a normal review, instead a retrospective on the experience of watching a great film for the second time.

Rashomon (1950)

 Isaac and Cameron are back recording together, and taking on a legendary Akira Kurosawa film, Rashomon (1950). This film uses flashbacks and non-linear editing to tell different and contradictory stories of a heinous crime. Each person involved has their own perspective to tell, and each story conflicts with the last. Does this classic post-war Japanese film stand the test of time, or does it fall on its sword in the eyes of modern viewers?

Triangle of Sadness (2022)

Isaac and Juzo go to the movies to review and discuss a widely-considered best picture nominee. Although the year isn't over, this dark comedy had stirred up analysis across the film community. The film follows a couple that work as models as they navigate their relationship in life, on a cruise, and eventually stranded on an island. A majority themes focus on ideas around class and relationships. But what did a casual think of the film? What about an expert. Side-note: Isaac and Juzo did no research into other perspectives before this review. This might be a hot take.
