episode 001 - the grand illusion

alright, it's here! our first full length episode. we first started discussing this enterprise back in march and are very pleased to see it finally coming to fruition. join us as we discuss jean renoir's anti-war classic, the grand illusion (1937). download episode 001 here or just press play below to listen.



unfortunately, as we mention, the rights to the film have reverted to studio canal so it is out of print as a criterion collection title. you can still take a look at the criterion collection page for the film, which includes a link to a nice essay by peter cowie, here.

if you find yourself so moved by what we had to say that you must own this film, you can pick up a used copy here.

if you would like to add the film to your netflix queue, click here.

as always, thanks for listening and any correspondence is encouraged and appreciated. we'll be back soon with episode 002, covering akira kurosawa's masterpiece, seven samurai (1954). see you then.
