Join us as we talk about the influential "Night of the Living Dead", George A. Romero's emblematic film. We have some problems with the film, but we also love many of its aspects. We discuss whether the zombies are actually scary or just goofy and also reflect on the allegorical elements of the narrative.

Today we discuss 1920s "The Golem", Paul Wegener's silent horror inspired on Jewish Folklore. We talk about the beauty of the images but also the flaws of the narrative. Is the film a good representation of Jewish culture? Does the romantic sub-plot work?

Hoje vamos numa road trip e encontramos a violência de "Texas Chain Saw Massacre", que nos faz refletir sobre o vegetarianismo... É um dos melhores filmes de sempre por alguma razão, e discutimos essas razões: desde as imagens aterradoras mas com uma beleza estranha, à forma como reflete sobre contexto pós-vietname e a violência na sociedade norte-americana.

Hoje é dia de revisitarmos "Bambi", o clássico intemporal da Disney. A animação é claramente o ponto alto do filme, mas achamos também inesperado a forma pouco usual como a narrativa se desenvolve. Qual é a moral da história? Este filme é mais triste que "O Rei Leão"? Como é que reflete os valores da época?

Today we are joined by Justin and Laura from the podcast "Cows in the Field" to discuss Frankenheimer's "Seconds". We discuss how the ideals of post-war America are reflected in the film, and how potent and purposeful Frankenheimer's visuals are. Would you trade your life for Rock Hudson's face? Maybe not the best idea.

Temos o nosso primeiro encontro com o senhor Fellini, discutimos o celebrado "8½". É um filme imaginativo e que reflete muito sobre a sua própria construção, mas sentimos que nunca se torna chato ou repetitivo. Refletimos sobre as intenções de Fellini e se há um lado de defesa ou ataque contra a sua própria pessoa...

Hoje discutimos o estranho e misterioso filme de Leos Carax, "Holy Motors". A excentricidade da narrativa é um dos elementos mais cativantes, assim como tentar desvendar a relevância de cada episódio, mas nem sempre nos sentimos convencidos pelos caminhos que a história segue. ------------------------------------ Segue-nos nas redes: YOUTUBE - https://www.youtube.com/@rwc_podcast/videos INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/rwc_podcast/ LETTERBOXD -...

Hoje discutimos "Coisa Ruim", um filme de terror português sugerido pelo nosso convidado especial de hoje, Vasco Vieira.

Hoje viajamos de táxi pelo mundo com o "Night on Earth" do Jim Jarmusch. Achamos o filme hilariante e estruturado de uma forma inteligente, em que há uma progressão no tom e ambiente de cada história, que se complementam e ao mesmo tempo contrastam. -------------------------------------- Segue-nos nas redes: YOUTUBE - https://www.youtube.com/@rwc_podcast/videos INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/rwc_podcast/ LETTERBOXD - https://letterboxd.com/RWC_Podcast/

Hoje refletimos sobre a dificuldade e genialidade de "Jeanne Dielman", a obra mais celebrada de Chantal Akerman. É um filme desafiante pelo seu foco na rotina e nos gestos da personagem, mas sentimos que consegue construir uma tensão inesperada; discutimos também se será o melhor filme de sempre (e como isso pouco importa). -------------------------------------- Segue-nos nas redes: YOUTUBE - https://www.youtube.com/@rwc_podcast/videos INSTAGRAM -...

We dive into Manoel de Oliveira's "The Strange Case of Angelica", a peculiar little film from the celebrated Portuguese filmmaker. We have our different perspectives regarding the overly theatrical/literary acting style, and we argue about the intentional or unintentional comedic moments throughout the film. Despite everything, we all agree there's a lot of beauty to the film, especially regarding its ideas and visual style. -------------------------------------- Segue-nos nas...

We take a look into Franco Rosso's "Babylon", a gripping portrait of London in the 1980s. We discuss how detailed and fascinating all the characters are; the film's slice of life nature and how it captures the cultural and social context in a very honest and direct manner. -------------------------------------- Segue-nos nas redes: YOUTUBE - https://www.youtube.com/@rwc_podcast/videos INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/rwc_podcast/ LETTERBOXD -...

Join us as we discuss Kiarostami's masterpiece "Taste of Cherry", one of his most well known. We discuss the beauty of the film and its ingenious narrative premise, as well as Kiarostami's masterful filmmaking - How does he use the shot-reverse shot? Why does he sometimes cut to wide shots of the car?

Hoje exploramos "Dr. Strangelove" e "Eyes Wide Shut", do lendário Stanley Kubrick. Discutimos os temas e ideias transversais aos dois filmes, como a insegurança masculina expressada pelas personagens e o uso genial de música.

Today we are joined by the talented Portuguese filmmaker Isadora Neves Marques to discuss her newest "My Senses Are All I Have to Offer".
