About

Collin and Chris discuss the boundaries of film as art in a discussion of Pure Cinema before diving into Alain Resnais's 1961 French masterpiece Last Year at Marienbad. Last Year at Marienbad is unlike anything we have discussed on the show, or anything we have ever seen for that matter. This film is about as far from the Hollywood blockbuster as it gets, it is film as art and is all the stronger for it. Join Chris and Collin as we discuss what this film is trying to make us think and feel and what it can teach us about the human experience.What we are covering next: The Irishman, Martin Scorsese (2019)Pure Cinema Films and Chris's soundtrack recommendations:Portrait of a Young Man, Henwar Rodakiewicz (1925-31)Giacinto Scelsi“Natura renovatur pour onze cordes”“Anagamin pour douze cordes”“Ohoi pour seize cordes”“Elohim pour dix cordes”Leopold StokowskiPassacaglia and Fugue in C minor, BWV 582 (arr.
