Season 2021

  • S2021E01 The Unforgettable Line of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

    • January 1, 2021

    This was my 9th watch and the best watch yet. Happy 2021.

  • S2021E02 The Haunting Sound Design of The Assistant

    • January 21, 2021

    Many say this film is boring. I thought it's absolutely terrifying (and beautiful). And here's why.

  • S2021E03 Midsommar's Audiovisual Tricks

    • February 4, 2021

    There's a reason for every shot, and every sound. Just take a look at Midsommar's opening.

  • S2021E04 The Handmaiden's Mysterious Symbols

    • February 18, 2021

    Symbols are cool, but they're even cooler if they can be interpreted within the narrative and can stand on their own without being 'metaphorical'. Here's how the legendary South Korean director Park Chan-wook (Oldboy, Thirst, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance, etc.) uses symbols in his 2016 drama / thriller, The Handmaiden...by not really using them.

  • S2021E05 Minari | The Beautiful Tragedy

    • March 4, 2021

    Have you ever had minari in real life? I have. And the film reminds me of that taste. Minari is Lee Isaac Chung's 2021 film from A24.

  • S2021E06 Visual Trauma of Enter the Void

    • March 17, 2021

    I still can't watch this scene without flinching. So imagine the pain of making a video of it. Gaspar Noé's Enter the Void is a 2009 film about a young man who...dies.

  • S2021E07 Nomadland | Framing the Moment

    • April 1, 2021

    Nomadland isn't a writing; it's a poem, and should be treated as such. My love for this film is growing with time.

  • S2021E08 The Nightmare Cuts of Lars Von Trier

    • April 22, 2021

    I watched every single Lars von Trier films so you don't have to. Please don't try this at home, or really, anywhere, ever.

  • S2021E09 The Clever Loop of The Father

    • May 14, 2021

    Things you may have missed, or may have wondered from The Father... are okay to miss and not know because that's life.

  • S2021E10 The Violent Cinema of Park Chan-wook

    • June 8, 2021

    South Korean revenge films have changed the scene. And Park Chan-wook stands in the middle of it all.

  • S2021E11 Paul Thomas Anderson | Creating Romance With Camera

    • July 2, 2021

    How could you use the camera to foreshadow and explain the essentials of your film? Here's one of my favourite scenes from Phantom Thread, directed by one of my favourite directors, Paul Thomas Anderson, to explain.

  • S2021E12 The Uncanny Romance of Phantom Thread

    • July 25, 2021

    Everything from costume design, set design, lighting, and even the score works together to create one beautiful scene like this one here. This is my favourite scene from Paul Thomas Anderson's Phantom Thread and why it became my favourite.

  • S2021E13 A Tale of Two Sisters | The Unsettling Mise-En-Scène

    • August 18, 2021

    One of the scariest Korean movies of all time. But why? Let's find out. Colors, set design, lighting, acting, score... there are so many things to explore, and so many tricks to discover - I couldn't talk about everything in this video, so please check out the entire movie if you haven't! It's a beautifully twisted film.

  • S2021E14 The Kaufman Hell - I'm Thinking of Ending Things

    • October 2, 2021

    What is this film REALLY about? What is Kaufman trying to say? That's something we will never know, as Kaufman is infamous for purposefully making things vague and open to interpretation. But that doesn't mean we can't speculate; in fact, we're invited to do so. So let's give it a try.

  • S2021E15 Squid Game's Colorful Tricks

    • November 11, 2021

    Why is everything so bright? What secrets lie behind its set design? And can we say that Gi-hun REALLY won the game? This is everything about Squid Game, in relation to its double sided nature, and how that shows in its sets, colors, characters, and games.

  • S2021E16 Gaspar Noé’s Irreversible Damage

    • December 10, 2021

    Why do Gaspar Noé films make you sick? Why is Irreversible such a great film? Why did he tell the story backwards? What's up with his camera work? All that and more, with his 2002 film, Irréversible.
