Spoiler Filled Film Conversation, Hooray!
A bunch of Welsh people talking about films and making stuff.
Ah the French New Wave! Celebrated everywhere for it’s impenetrableness! Well, not on this podcast! Neo noir Sci-fi films are pretty much a staple sub-genre these days, but not in 1965 when Jean Luc Godard decided to make Alphaville. Come and listen to us appreciate and decimate this New Wave classic in equal measures in our special irreverent way as we acknowledge its influence and experimentation as well as it’s incomprehensibility.
“We should do a Fellini film” Jamie said. “We all actually learned proper film criticism once upon a time, we can tackle an avant garde classic.” Well, whether it was high expectations or whether its because we’ve spent the last decade talking about obscure trashy films we just didn’t quite get on with this film constantly regarded as one of the best ever made. So, if you’re looking for a more irreverent look at this highly regarded classic about the personal and professional struggles of the creative process, then you have certainly come to the right place.
Time for some 60’s, psychedelic, fantasy/sci-fi erotica this time on SFFCH as we get to explore every inch of Barbarella from 1968. In this discussion be prepared for: killer dolls, hairy men, blind angels, evil ooze, attempted death by birds, attempted death by orgasm and one of the most out of nowhere references to the Welsh language ever.
